EXPLAINER: How COVID tests, isolation will work at Olympics

NEW YORK — Athletes and others headed to the Olympics face a multitude of COVID-19 testing hurdles as organizers seek to catch any infections early and keep the virus at bay. A positive test could mean athletes sitting out the Beijing Games — perhaps even if they’re no longer contagious. They eased the testing threshold that requires isolation but said people with detectable levels of the virus still need to take extra precautions, such as limiting contact with others and taking two tests a day, instead of one. In the U.S., for example, people can end isolation after five days if they don’t have any symptoms — without testing to see if they’re negative.
