PARIS — Five players on Australia's women's water polo team have tested positive for COVID-19. Anna Meares, the chef de mission for the Australian team in Paris, says the COVID cases have been confined to the water polo team. She says the affected players are clear to practice when they feel well enough to train. Paris is the first Summer Olympics since the Tokyo Games were pushed back to 2021 because of the pandemic.
