Olympics-Ice hockey-Swiss women's player tests positive for norovirus, Canada game to go on
By Amy Tennery
MILAN, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Members of Switzerland's women's ice hockey team have been placed in isolation after one player tested positive for norovirus, the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation said on Saturday, hours before they were set to play the defending Olympic champions Canada.
The game against Canada on Saturday will go ahead as scheduled, a Swiss spokesperson told Reuters.
Switzerland beat the Czech Republic in a thrilling shootout 4-3 on Friday. Switzerland said that the positive test came after that game and that the isolation measures were taken as a precaution.
Canada were forced to postpone their opening game against Finland on Thursday after several Finnish players also fell ill with norovirus. That game has been rescheduled for February 12.
