TOKYO — The Tokyo 2020 organizing committee reported the first positive case of COVID-19 in the Olympic Village on Saturday.
The unidentified person, who is listed by organizers only as "Games-concerned personnel," tested positive for the disease Friday and is now quarantining at a hotel.
Toshiro Muto, the CEO of the organizing committee, said in a news conference that he did not have any information about whether the person had been vaccinated. And Seiko Hashimoto, the committee's president, said organizers are doing everything in their power to ensure that the Olympic Village – like all venues and facilities – is as safe as possible.
