Tokyo Olympics organisers Monday announced that three athletes, four contractors, eight Games-concerned personnel and one Games employee have been found to be COVID positive.

Organisers did not reveal which athletes were affected, but said they were not residents of Japan.
All the three athletes are not residents of the Olympic Village, which has reported 16 cases since it was opened.
One Games-connected personnel and a contractor are residents of Japan in the fresh additions.
The total number of Games-concerned personnel to have tested positive so far stood at 83 after the addition of 8 new cases.
Earlier on Monday, the organisers urged the media covering the Games to adhere to COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), saying that they have been made aware of incidents of alleged non-compliance.
They warned of "disciplinary consequences" for violating laid down rules on health safety precautions.
The 2020 Summer Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in the Japanese capital between 23 July and 8 August.
Japan recently lifted the state of emergency in Tokyo, which had been in place since late April.
The Paralympic Games are between 24 August and 5 September.
They were postponed last year because of Covid.
The Olympics will feature 33 sports at 339 events across 42 venues. The Paralympics will feature 22 sports at 539 events across 21 venues.
Most events will be in the Greater Tokyo area.
Some football games and the marathon are in Sapporo in Hokkaido, which has emergency Covid measures in place until 11 July.
