Two South African footballers and a video analyst tested positive for the coronavirus at the Village, organisers announced Sunday. But Games organisers played down the risk of a cluster emerging, saying there have been "no significant bumps" so far. "The IOC and Tokyo 2020 are absolutely clear that the Olympic Village is a safe place to stay," Tokyo 2020 spokesperson Masa Takaya told reporters. "That's something we are currently coordinating with the South African Olympic committee and others," he said. The Tokyo Games will be largely held without spectators to prevent infections.
