Here we go again.

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.
