This morning.
A police officer helping with Japan’s Olympic Torch relay has become the first participant in the event to be diagnosed with COVID-19…
…Organisers said an unnamed man in his 30s who had taken part in the relay in the western island of Shikoku had tested positive for the virus, without specifying his exact role.
They pledged to work with medical authorities to “take the precautions needed to put on a safe and secure torch relay”.
It was the first reported case related to the relay, which has been forced off public roads in some areas over fears it will spread the virus.
Hmm.
