Covid-19 Hits the Russian Super Final at Mocow's Fabled Central Chess Club
Mikhail Antipov withdrew from the event having tested positive for Covid-19. Did he infect others at the event? Time will tell. The more pressing question(s) must be directed to FIDE, the Russian Chess Federation and the sponsors of this event.
As these photos from the event clearly show, Covid-19 pandemic protection measures were inadequate. An indoor venue, plexiglass screens that do nothing to prevent the spread of aerosolized Covid-19 virus and unmasked players were, sadly, the norm. Why was this event held with such lax infection protection protocols?
