Yesterday, Beijing time, from the front of the Tokyo Olympic Games, there was worrying news of the epidemic. The Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee's press conference on anti-epidemic measures announced that 12 Olympic-related personnel tested positive for the new crown virus on the same day, two of whom were athletes who had entered the Olympic Village from overseas and lived in the Olympic Village. In addition, as many as 7 people in the Turkish women's volleyball team, the first match of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Olympic Games, have been executed into "soft isolation".
Yesterday, according to the announcement of the Turkish Volleyball Association and foreign media reports, due to the fact that one of the passengers on the same flight to Tokyo is positive for the new crown, Edem, the leader of the Turkish women's volleyball team, and 6 other team members will be subject to "soft isolation" in accordance with the epidemic prevention regulations of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. At present, the Turkish team has stayed in the Olympic Village and continues to train before the game, and they receive nucleic acid tests every day. Turkish Captain Edem was the flag bearer of the Turkish delegation's opening ceremony, though she will be absent from tonight's opening ceremony due to quarantine. According to the relevant provisions of the Tokyo Olympic Games Epidemic Prevention Manual, athletes who have received "soft isolation" or have been judged to be close to the new crown can participate in the competition if a series of conditions such as a negative nucleic acid test result are met every day. Therefore, the quarantined members of the Turkish team are likely to still participate in the first match with the Chinese women's volleyball team on July 25.
