While the Olympic games were cancelled due to the pandemic last year, Japan and host city Tokyo ironically are experiencing higher COVID-19 case numbers than last summer, with a 7-day average of about 5,000 cases.
To mitigate spread, the Olympics are 'bubbled' and devoid of fans. So how are precautions playing out on the ground?
MedPage Today has spoken with three team doctors since the games officially began last Friday, who note that organizers have taken many other additional precautions.
The three physicians are Naresh Rao, DO, the men's water polo team doctor; Alex Myers, DO, the rugby team doctor; and James Lally, DO, an American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians fellow who is working his 7th summer games for USA Shooting.
