Sluková-Nausch's positive result was announced on Thursday, as she became the fifth member of the Czech Olympic team to have tested positive for Covid-19 in Tokyo. Simon Nausch, who is Sluková-Nausch's coach and husband, also tested positive on Tuesday. Five other passengers from the flight, including four Czech athletes, have since tested positive for the virus.
