The infected person has mild symptoms and is quarantined for 14 days, like the rest of NRK’s team.
All of NRK’s employees in Oberstdorf have been tested, and a response is expected during the weekend.
The infection in the state channel’s team will not affect online and radio broadcasts during the two race days of the Tour de Ski in Oberstdorf.
The infected NRK employee has not been in contact with any practitioners in the last 24 hours.
An employee of the local TV production team has also tested positive, according to a press release from FIS, which makes it clear that both the infected are isolated and that all close contacts are in quarantine. No practitioners or members of the teams’ support staff are defined as close contacts.
Like some other press people, NRK’s employees live in the same hotel complex as athletes from nations such as Finland, Sweden, USA, Russia and France, but as far as NTB knows, none of NRK’s employees have been in the hotel where, for example, the Swedish athletes live. They have only stayed in their own apartments and have not eaten at the hotel.
