Tokyo organizers and the IOC earlier in the week barred all fans from venues in Tokyo and three neighboring prefectures. Organizers on Saturday said 18 people holding Olympic accreditations have tested positive since July 1. Athletes who may have tested positive in training camp situations may not be included. A Lithuanian Olympic swimmer who arrived Wednesday and tested negative subsequently tested positive at his training camp venue. About 11,000 Olympic athletes are to enter Tokyo along with tens of thousands of support staff, judges, officials, media, and broadcasters.
