The Swedish slalom team was not allowed to compete in Levi after a leader tested positive for covid-19.
The Finnish authorities quarantined both skiers and leaders.
Next weekend, the cross-country national team will compete in Ruka - which has followed the reports about the alpine national team.
- It has been a question that has been on the table: "Is it right that we go there at all?"
This can be a consequence that our squad can also experience.
It's an extremely difficult decision, whether we should go or not?
What medical risks are we really prepared to take?
It is an extremely complex issue, says national team doctor Per "Pliggen" Andersson in Vinterstudion.
Sends smaller squad to Ruka
"Duty" emphasizes seriousness.
- This is the toughest challenge we have had, purely medically.
We try to find strategies so that our skiers feel safe and that we minimize the risk of infection.
One step in minimizing the risks is that they have decided to almost halve the squad for Ruka, something Expressen revealed.
- We do not dare to send a full squad.
Now it will instead be about twelve skiers instead of 20, says length manager Daniel Fåhraeus to the newspaper.
"Charlotte will start training soon"
The national team doctor says that they follow the development day by day.
- The plan is for us to go, but we must have an open mind and value new information.
How is the situation with Charlotte Kalla, who tested positive for covid-19?
- Charlotte has had mild symptoms and is symptom-free right now.
The plan is that she will soon start training, it is very gratifying.
It is clear that we must be extra observant now that she has had this infection.
