French Health Minister Frederic Valletoux: An Australian water polo player has been isolated at the Paris Games following a positive COVID-19 test, as confirmed by the country's Olympic team chief, Anna Meares, on Tuesday. The athlete's name has not been disclosed, but close contacts are being closely monitored and tested to prevent any further spread of the virus. Despite this setback, the team continues its training as planned.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were delayed by a year due to the pandemic and were held with limited spectators. However, the current approach to managing COVID-19 is more measured.

"We were due to have two players from water polo with us; however, currently, we have had one athlete from their team isolating with COVID, which was detected last night," Meares stated during a news conference.
