UK—Nine members of Britain’s athletics team have tested positive for COVID-19, raising concerns over the risks involved in travelling as a group ahead of this year’s Tokyo Olympics, the Times reported.

British media reported last week that the entire team was forced to isolate after returning from the European Indoor Championships in Poland after a staff member tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
