KLM staff not tested for Covid before flight to Olympics

NL Times  

The crew on KLM flight KL861 was not tested for coronavirus infections before the flight that transported a large number of Dutch athletes to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, the Dutch airline confirmed to RTL Nieuws. On Tuesday morning, Japanese media reported that two more athletes tested positive, including a Dutch tennis player. Newspaper AD, which had two reporters on flight KL861, reported that the Olympic athletes were kept separate from other passengers before departure, but were mixed in with everyone else on the plane. KLM also told AD that it is likely that the post-flight coronavirus infections happened during hours of waiting in a quarantine room at Narita airport in Tokyo.
