Like Noah Lyles, Olympians with COVID are competing in Paris. Restrictions are a thing of the past

Associated Press  

PARIS — Many hoped the Paris Olympics would be the post-COVID Games. The World Health Organization said earlier this week that at least 40 athletes at the Olympics had tested positive for the virus, amid growing cases worldwide. COVID-19 “is being treated like any other respiratory disease,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Friday. Olympic organizers operated a health security bubble — called a “closed-loop management system” — even for vaccinated people before, during and after the Winter Olympics and Paralympics. The country lifted isolation measures last year, instead advising people to follow basic health recommendations — just in time for Olympics that organizers labeled the “Games Wide Open.” ___ Michael Giarrusso and Kate Brumback in Paris and AP Medical Writer Maria Cheng in London contributed to this report.
