TOKYO -A member of the Nigerian Tokyo Olympics delegation became the first Olympics visitor admitted to hospital with COVID-19, Japan's TV Asahi reported on Friday, as Japan battles to stem rising local infections with the Games a week away.

Several COVID-19 cases have emerged involving athletes and others involved with the Games, which start July 23, even as infections spread in Tokyo and experts warn worse may lie ahead. De Minaur returned two positive tests in Spain before he was due to fly to Japan, David Hughes, the AOC's chief medical officer, told a news conference.

"It's possible that even after the Olympics start, there will be situations where we'll need to add measures to prevent the spread of infections - and if that's the case, we have to be flexible enough to act swiftly," said Murofushi, 46, a gold and bronze medalist in the hammer throw. Asked about the report, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike told reporters while many hoped children at least could see the Games in person, it would depend on the trend in infections.Bach on Friday visited Hiroshima, the first city to suffer an atomic bombing, to deliver what organisers have called a message of peace on the first day of an"Olympic Truce", an ancient tradition to cease hostilities during the Games.
