Team GB Statement: Adam Peaty Has COVID

A statement from Team GB has confirmed that Adam Peaty began feeling unwell on Sunday, ahead of his Men's 100m Breaststroke final.

In the hours after the final, his symptoms became worse and he was tested for COVID early on Monday morning.

He tested positive at that point.

Adam Peaty and Team GB are hopeful Peaty will be back in competition for the relay events later in the swimming programme.

As in any case of illness, the situation is being managed appropriately, with all usual precautions being taken to keep the wider delegation healthy.
