Six days before the opening ceremony, organizers said an unnamed person had tested positive for coronavirus in the village, where thousands of athletes and officials will stay during the Games.
"There was one person in the village. That was the very first case in the village that was reported during the screening test," Masa Takaya, spokesman for the organizing committee, told a press conference.
"Right now this person is confined to a hotel," Takaya said.
Japanese media reported that the person who had tested positive was a foreign national. The Games are facing opposition from the Japanese public, who fear a fresh wave of infections.
