Norway, which got off to a strong start in the Tour de Ski in Switzerland's Val Müstair, has suffered a setback.

Women's coach Sjur Ole Svarstad has now tested positive for covid.

- No one else has tested positive today.

We test ourselves frequently and caught this positive test response very early, and the risk of infection should therefore be very low.

We will continue with good preventive work in the form of mouth protection, that we keep our distance and have good hand hygiene, says national team doctor Ove Feragen.

Today is a rest day in the Tour de Ski, the skiers move to German Oberstdorf for the 10 km classic tomorrow, Tuesday.
