U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee to report daily COVID test rates through Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

USOPC News account on Twitter. Case numbers will be pulled from the Tokyo Organizing Committee’s tracking system and combined with results from local airport arrivals, and will detail data from the previous day.
Additionally, of the nearly 60% of the U.S. Olympic delegation who was expected to travel to Japan from July 1-23, six U.S. athletes and officials tested positive for COVID-19 as part of the rigorous pre-departure testing process and were not permitted to travel. The remaining 40% of the U.S. delegation for the Olympic Games will arrive in Tokyo periodically over the coming weeks as pre-departure testing and monitoring continues.

Domestically, the USOPC utilized Japanese-approved testing provider Meenta, and worked with the Japanese Government to identify approved sites for athletes and officials who were travelling from a destination outside of the United States directly to Japan for the Games.
