Two athletes living in the Olympic Village have tested positive for Covid-19, the first to do so with the Tokyo Games opening on Friday.
Organisers confirmed the positive tests on Sunday and both were listed as "non-Japanese". No names or other details were provided.
Organisers on Sunday also said another
athlete had tested positive but this person was not residing in the Olympic Village. This athlete was also identified as "non-Japanese".
Organisers say since July 1, 55 people linked to the Olympics have reported positive tests. This accounting does include athletes or others who may have arrived for training camps but are not yet under the "jurisdiction" of the organising committee.
