Mig Greengard just posted the following not long ago:

“The bad news is that there are reports of at least two of the players falling ill. Magnus Carlsen is suffering from a fever bad enough to consider requesting a postponement of his round four game. He’s been to the doctor, so let’s hope things improve. I also heard a comment that Kramnik is dealing with some flu symptoms.”

Let’s hope both are OK.

Update: Espen Agdestein informed Chessdom.com and Nettavisen that Carlsen has been given antibiotics. He is sick, but he will play today.
