Foreign athletes infected with corona in Tokyo

A foreign athlete has been found infected with the coronavirus after arriving in Tokyo ahead of the Olympic Games. The organizers of the Games have confirmed this, although no information has been given about the identity or status of the athlete.

The Tokyo Olympics 2020 organizing committee said that the athletes who tested positive on Wednesday are currently in a 14-day quarantine and have not entered the athletes’ venue. It is understood that this is the first time a foreign athlete living in a facility managed by the organizing committee has tested positive for coronavirus. It is noteworthy that earlier it was reported that eight employees of a Japanese hotel hosting Brazil’s Olympic judo team were found to be corona infected and a staff member of SS’s rugby sevens team was hospitalized.
