COVID-19 Cases Among Athletes at Paris Olympics, Says WHO. The World Health Organization has stated that it is not surprising to see athletes testing positive for COVID-19 at the Paris Olympics, as the virus is circulating rapidly in many countries. WHO's Maria Van Kerkhove noted that numerous countries, including during the Olympics, have experienced COVID-19 surges, with at least 40 athletes testing positive. While the threat is lower than at previous Olympics, the pandemic has still impacted the Paris Games, with several athletes unable to compete after positive tests. #covid19,#olympics,#parisolympics,#athletes,#who
