Due to the large number of corona infections, the classic ski slope in Lauberhorn is expected to be canceled the weekend of January 15-17. This is what the men’s race director Markus Waldner said Saturday in Adelboden.
“In the last few days we have been testing very intensively in the World Cup village after the Christmas holidays. It turned out that there are many cases of Covid-19, “summarized Waldner.
Also, English tourists were there during the festive period, so there was a risk that the mutated corona virus could occur in Switzerland.
