Five members of Australia's women's water polo team have tested positive for Covid-19 just days before the Paris Olympics, officials said on Wednesday. Australian chef-de-mission Anna Meares said they would resume training when well enough. Their campaign is due to start on Saturday against China. "It is confined to the water polo team. There have been five athletes in total who have tested positive," she said.

Australia has a 13-person team in Paris. "They are following all the protocols that we have. I can confirm that all the water polo team has been tested as well," Meares added. The protocols include wearing masks and isolating outside of training.
