News from skiing – Slalom Levi without Swedes: the whole team in quarantine – sport

No Swedish driver in Levi

Next weekend’s women’s slalom in Levi will take place without the Swedish team due to a crown case. The entire Scandinavian team has been quarantined by the Finnish authorities, a spokesman for the Swedish association said. A team coach had already tested positive for coronavirus upon arrival in Finland. The health department of the ski resort in Lapland therefore decided to isolate all team members.
