There were such small amounts that Hassan did not even feel that he was affected by the virus.
- It is such a small amount that he could be healthy tomorrow but for Finnkampen he has been deleted, we must follow the health protocol, says national team doctor Sverker Nilsson.
According to Torneklint, Hassan is isolated at the hotel but it would not be needed according to Nilsson.
- He is only contagious if you mess with him.
You can share a room with him and have dinner without any problems.
It is only through saliva that he is contagious, says Nilsson, who says that Hassan became sad.
- He had wanted to be with and beat the Finns.
Half of the corona tests analyzed
It is unclear who will replace Hassan in 1500 meters, where he had the second best time in the field, which was the distance he would run in Finnkampen.
- We are working on who will replace, says Torneklint.
About half of the corona tests taken on Thursday have been analyzed.
The Swedish team flies to and from Tampere every day during the weekend and is based in a hotel in Stockholm.
It was last Saturday that Hassan finished third in the 5000 meters at Slottskogsvallen in Gothenburg in 13.18.01 - only 0.42 from Anders Gännerud's 44-year-old Swedish record.
He was not infected at the time.
- No, we took a test before and it was negative, says national team doctor Nilsson.
