Some (relatively) good news on the Covid-19 front today with the news that no athletes have tested positive for the virus. That’s the first 0 case day since August 19 when a number of teams were yet to arrive in the country. Official stats show the testing programme recorded 13 positive cases in total, with nine contractors testing positive and two representatives of the media.
It was also confirmed that the unidentified member of ‘Games-related personnel’ who was admitted to hospital yesterday is continuing to receive medical treatment today. Their condition is ‘not severe’ according to a Tokyo 2020 spokesperson.
