Infection bubble “broken' at Tokyo2020 Olympic village, says public health expert but organisers insist games can go ahead with “proper measures'
The "bubble" to control Covid-19 infections at the Olympic athletes' village in Tokyo is "broken" and could pose a risk to the general public, a prominent public health expert has said a few days ahead of the opening of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The Associated Press news agency reported on Tuesday that a total of 71 people had tested positive among those accredited for the Games since July 1, including at least six athletes, Games contractors and volunteers. Two members of Mexico's Olympic baseball team were the latest to have tested positive for Covid-19 at the team hotel before their departure for the Tokyo Olympics and were in isolation.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said last week that testing and quarantine protocols would leave "zero" risk of Games participants infecting residents in Japan.
