The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) confirmed two athletes and one official received positive tests following daily saliva and antigen tests at the Olympic Village.

This followed two nasopharyngeal PCR tests in accordance with COVID-19 protocols set out by Tokyo 2020.

Long jumper Andwuelle Wright and 400 metres hurdler Sparkle Ann McKnight will not be allowed to compete tomorrow.

Coach Wendell Williams is the third member.

The trio are in daily contact with Team TTO COVID-19 liaison officer Rheeza Grant and Chef de Mission Lovie Santana.

In compliance with the Tokyo 2020 playbook, which includes countermeasures installed by the Japanese Government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee and the International Olympic Committee, the 50-member Team TTO conducted daily COVID tests.

Tokyo reported a record number of COVID-19 cases for the third straight day.

Japan's total number of positive cases exceeded 10,000 for the first time.

A member of the Japanese Government’s advisory panel on COVID-19, Professor Hitoshi Oshitani, told The Age and the Herald: "I don’t think the Organising Committee has been doing their best to minimise the risk.

"They have just been saying the Olympics are safe without showing any strategy to minimise the risk.

"They have had more than a year after they decided to postpone the Olympics. 

"They knew they were going to hold these Olympics in the middle of a pandemic. 

"But what have they been doing? 

"I don’t think they are prepared for the worst-case scenario."
