Just an hour and a half before the third stage of the Tour de Ski starts, NRK announces that one of their on-site teams has tested positive for covid-19.
The team lives in the same hotel as several of the national teams, including the Swedish team, and has now been quarantined.
"All are now tested and are expected to receive answers over the weekend.
This will affect NRK's reporting from the Tour de Ski in the coming days ", they write on their website.
- Oj.
We get to put and discuss this directly.
We have to do something about this now, says national team doctor Jan Wall to Expressen after the news.
The tour started in Lenzerheide, Switzerland but has now moved to German Oberstorf.
And Jan Wall thinks that there is a difference in how the restrictions are followed.
- We felt immediately when we checked in that this hotel was not corona safe - if you compare with how we lived in Switzerland.
We have to see if there are alternative accommodation for us, he tells the newspaper.
