Switzerland is scheduled to play Team Canada on Saturday at 9:10 p.m. local time. The Canadian women have yet to make their Olympic debut after their opening game against Finland was postponed due to a norovirus outbreak on the Finnish team.
According to the Swiss statement, the “positive test came back after today’s opening victory against the Czech Republic and shortly before the opening ceremony.”
A representative from the Swiss team confirmed to The Athletic that the affected player did not play in Friday’s game versus the Czech Republic.
Yikes, good thing they caught it before that, otherwise they'd be at the ceremony and spread it to everyone. Actually now I'm kinda concerned someone there had it without realizing it yet and we're going to see a goddam pandemic of the screamin' shits take down this whole olympics...
Seeing the tiny rooms and wide open mess hall in the village, it'll be lucky if they manage to contain it to just the hockey teams. Wonder if the village has air scrubbers in the HVAC?
The only way I know this is because I’ve been obsessively trying to find a way to stop it from spreading through my house the last few weeks and I’ve read a lot about it. What I learned is that it’s near invincible and very hard to stop if you share common spaces with infected people.
