The team has changed from small corona-secured hotels in Lenzerheide to a much larger one in Oberstdorf where several of the teams live.
Halfvarsson feels that the hotel does not live up to the security around covid-19.
In addition, another person in the production of the competition tested positive for the infection.
The majority of activists, leaders, journalists and people in the production have not tested themselves between Lenzerheide and Oberstdorf.
- I think it should be careful with so much and we active must take care of so much and fill in forms with everything around covid and then we come here to the dining room and the hotel and then it's the world buffet and everyone runs and takes in everything .
Then I think the whole concept falls a little short.
It's a bit unprofessional when everything else has to be so professional.
Then everything falls apart when you have a buffet at a hotel, says Halfvarsson.
Calle ate off the buffet
Have you eaten from the buffet?
- I have done that but I hope it went well but now there will probably be no more of that buffet so it will be to get food in the room and we must also be careful with hand alcohol.
Immediately when the Swedish team arrived at the hotel in Oberstdorf, they pulled their ears.
- It was a risk, we saw it when we arrived but we have done as well as we could at the hotel.
There were many who felt a concern.
The plan is to test half the gang tonight and the other half tomorrow, maybe we can test everyone earlier.
Right now, everyone is healthy, says national team doctor Jan Wall, who has been given a hectic job to sort out.
Working on changing hotels
- We are collecting more information.
We have a lot of action plans that we will implement but it will be messy as it feels right now.
What are the action plans?
- Alternative housing is something we work with, says Wall.
How do you see the infection entering the hotel?
- It is of course worrying.
We had a stay in Switzerland that felt safe and well thought out.
This is a larger hotel with many teams, corona safe may not be the word.
It is, for example, a larger dining room with buffet food.
Svensson: "Not good at all"
Even Oskar Svensson, who had a failed day and finished 73rd, is worried.
- It was not good at all, especially considering the hotel we live in, I get worried.
It is a much larger hotel than where we have been before.
Because it is so big, we have mixed with other people.
Heard that they are working on a solution to share the national team.
We probably can not continue to live in the same way.
I assume that there will be a lot of tests in the future so that they can keep track of the situation, says Svensson who does not put today's mediocre performance in connection with the infection.
- The body did not work today.
It was completely depleted of energy.
Maybe it was a reaction to the fact that I did not drive that much, I do not know.
It was a completely empty tank, Svensson describes today's feeling.
Iivo Niskanen finished 20th and won the distance race over the classic 15 km the day before yesterday.
- I eat my food myself at the hotel so there should be no danger.
