The simple answer is: »a bit«. We are closely monitoring the situation in all of the countries from which you, the competitors, are coming from. At the moment our Italian team is in State-imposed quarantine which is in force until April 4th. Other countries are currently still identifying limited numbers of infected cases and hope to stop infection to landslide like in Italy.
