A Czech Olympic team staff member has tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Tokyo on a charter flight from Prague, Czech Olympic officials said on Saturday, adding that all the athletes were fine and in the Olympic Village.
The staff member -- who had two negative PCR tests before departure and had no symptoms -- is now in isolation along with several close contacts from the plane, team officials said in a statement. They did not name the staff member.
"Within two hours we implemented an action plan and we prepared individual rooms for all athletes and members of the escort from the plane who arrived in the village," Martin Doktor, sports director of the Czech Olympic Committee said.
