PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — Two Swiss athletes are the first at the Winter Olympics confirmed to have contracted norovirus, which has affected hundreds of people in Pyeongchang.
The Swiss Olympic delegation said in a statement on Friday that the two athletes had shown signs of the highly contagious virus “in the past several days,” and that they no longer had symptoms after receiving care. It said they were sequestered in private rooms and were not staying at the Olympic Village.
The statement did not identify the athletes or their sport, but it said they were staying in a location close to where freestyle skiing events were being held.
