Olympics 2024: Five Australian water polo athletes test positive for Covid-19 in Paris

Five members of Australia’s women’s water polo team have tested positive for Covid-19 just days before the Paris Olympics, officials said Wednesday.

Australian chef-de-mission Anna Meares said they would resume training when well enough. Their campaign is due to start on Saturday against China.

“It is confined to the water polo team. There have been five athletes in total who have tested positive,” she said.
