Tatsuya Takera, a swimmer who has been appointed as the representative of the Tokyo Olympics, was tested positive for the new coronavirus.
Takera had a fever of 40 degrees at one point, but after that, the fever went down and no player was in close contact.
At the age of 24, Takera specializes in breaststroke, and in the men's 200-meter breaststroke of the Japan Championship last month, he broke the standard dispatch record and finished second, and was appointed as the first Olympic representative.
According to my affiliation, MIKI HOUSE, when I returned home after practicing on the 29th of last month, I had a slight fever of 37 degrees and a feeling of malaise, and the next day I had a fever of 39 degrees and sore throat and headache. I had a PCR test.
As a result of the test, Takera, who was judged to be positive, had a high fever of 40 degrees at one time, but the fever went down in about 3 days.
According to the instructions of the health center, he is still receiving medical treatment at home and is in good physical condition.
Takera refrains from going out unnecessarily except for practice, and there are no athletes who have been found to have close contact or have any symptoms around him.
MIKI HOUSE has instructed athletes who have had any contact with Takera to observe their health at home until two weeks have passed, and says that it is undecided to resume activities for Takera.
