A day before the Tokyo Olympics officially opens, organisers have recorded a total of 87 positive cases since July 1.
The organising committee said in their Thursday update that 12 coronavirus (COVID-19) cases have currently been linked to the event while two athletes staying in the Olympic Village were among those who tested positive.
Neither are, however , Japanese.
Organisers said two more people from the Olympic Village are affected, but they are not athletes.
All four must now go into quarantine. (NAN)
