Tokyo Olympics has registered its first Covid-19 case in the athletes' village, organisers said on Saturday. The development has added to concerns about infections at the Games that are scheduled to begin in six days. "There was one person in the Village.
That was the very first case in the Village that was reported during the screening test," Masa Takaya, spokesman for the Tokyo organising committee, said.
The person, whom organisers refused to identify, has been removed from the Village where thousands of athletes and officials will reside during the Games. "Right now this person is confined to a hotel," Takaya said.
