Two employees of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee have tested positive for COVID-19, officials said Saturday.
That brings the number of employees of the committee who have tested positive since the pandemic began to three.
Organizers said a man and a woman had tested positive but gave few details. They said the man was in his 20s and the woman in her 30s, and that both were now working from home rather than at the headquarters located near Tokyo Bay.
Many of the organizing committee’s employees have been working remotely though some have returned to office work in the last few months.
The organizing committee has a staff of 3,500.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been put back to July 23, 2021 due to the pandemic. The original closing ceremony was to have been Sunday, Aug. 9.
