New data has been released by Tokyo 2020 Olympics organizers detailing Covid-19 testing and positive case numbers since July 1st.
The data reveals that 127 people connected to the games have tested positive for the SARS-CoV2 virus in the past few weeks, including 71 people who are residents of Japan, including contractors and other games-connected personnel and 56 non-residents, including athletes, members of the media and other games personnel.
14 athletes have tested positive so far and almost 170,000 tests have been completed since July 1st. The data does not name individuals who have tested positive but, it does identify which nation and sport the person comes from. Recent positive tests have been reported for a cyclist from the Czech Republic on 22nd July and a rower from the Netherlands on the 23rd.
The Games organizers also perform contact tracing with the help of an app which collects GPS tracking data and athletes who have been in contact with people who later test positive are put into a modified self-isolation, where they must train alone but can still compete in the Games as long as they continue to produce daily negative tests. However, other international arrivals such as coaches and media personnel are frequently put into hotel rooms for a 14 day quarantine, a practice which is causing some controversy and confusion.
Just yesterday, 13 people from Italy’s games delegation, including 6 athletes, were put into a modified quarantine at the Olympic village after a journalist on their flight tested positive for the virus. U.S. tennis player Coco Gauff was one of the first high-profile athletes to test positive for Covid-19 and announce that she would pull out of the Games. Other high-profile athletes forced to drop out are U.S. Open winning golfer Bryson DeChambeau who tested positive today, before leaving the U.S. for Tokyo, as well as 2021 champion, Spaniard Jon Rahm. Neither will now be able to compete in the Games.
Covid-19 case numbers in Japan continue to rise, with the country reporting 5,282 new cases at the last daily count on the WHO dashboard on the 23rd.
