6 Danish men’s hockey players test positive at Olympics

Associated Press  

BEIJING — Denmark’s men’s hockey team held its first pre-Olympic practice Wednesday without six players after a spate of positive COVID-19 test results upon arriving in China. ”I wouldn’t called it ‘scared,’ but you’re always worried about, ‘Is there going to be more?’” Coach Heinz Ehlers expressed optimism about getting four of the players out of isolation late Wednesday or early Thursday. Ehlers said everyone on Denmark’s men’s hockey team tested negative twice within the previous 48 hours before leaving for Beijing. “I think with every team right now, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that we’re going to get through this tournament without too many positive cases,” Nielsen said.
