- There was a person in the village.
It was the first case in the village reported during the screening test, said Masa Takaya, spokeswoman for the organizing committee.
The person has been quarantined for two weeks, reports Inside the games.
This year's Olympics were postponed for a year as a result of the pandemic, and are largely held without an audience due to increased spread of infection in Tokyo.
Seiko Hashimoto, operations manager during the games, does not rule out that there could be an outbreak.
- We do everything we can to prevent covid outbreaks. If it ends up with us still having an outbreak, we will ensure that we have a response plan, he says.
