I thought the two Swedes with positive Covid were not players. The quarantine time has come down in some cases to 9 or 10 days. ah, but maybe late arrivals to the Edonmonchuk bubble. Some pretty good players, Sweden should be OK and good for the Tourney start. I think at least two where on the 1st line, maybe 3.
I think now I am answering my own questions
The two Swedish executives who tested positive have to stay in their hotel rooms until December 27th. The players are “out” as of today.
