Three Japanese athletes and a coach tested for COVID-19 at the World Championships on Monday, the National Athletics Federation (JAAF) announced https://www. jaaf. or. jp/news/article/16856, taking the total number of instances in the delegation to 15.
Sprinter Yuki Koike tested positive and missed the men’s 200-meter heats on Monday, while Shunsuke Izumiya and Takayuki Kishimoto were scheduled to compete in the men’s 400- and men’s 110-meter hurdles.
As a precaution, the remaining members of the Japanese delegation share non-unusual spaces with other delegations, the jaaf said.
Grant Holloway won the 110m hurdles name on Sunday. The last of the 400m hurdles will take place on Tuesday.
Organizers have made it mandatory for all employees, technical and medical managers and the media to wear masks indoors amid “a backlog of COVID-19 cases among accredited individuals. “
“Athletes and team officials should also wear masks in their accommodation and in indoor dining and recreation areas,” he added.
“It is very important that athletes also wear masks in the indoor spaces of the festival venue if this does not interfere with their preparation or recovery. “(Reporting via Hritika Sharma in Hyderabad; Editing via Peter Rutherford)
