(CNN) Just days before the Olympics are set to begin, three members from South Africa's Olympic football team have tested positive for Covid-19 after arriving at the Tokyo Olympic Village, according to the South African Football Association. "We have three positive cases of COVID-19 in the camp here, two players and an official," team manager Mxolisi Sibam said in the press release Sunday. They are the first athletes to have tested positive in the village. The team left South Africa on July 13 and arrived in Tokyo the following day and had reported negative results. The video analyst tested positive Thursday and went into isolation, while the athletes tested positive "on Friday and Saturday respectively," the association said.
