I believe it's only one alternate per country, per gender. No matter what. Sounds like they have to do a test 96, 72, and 48 hours before leaving. And one upon arrival. After that I believe they assume you're safe if you're in the village.
You'd have to be pretty silly to get a covid positive at that point. I assume most countries will have their athletes vaccinated as well. I guess we'll see in a few weeks!
I am not sure that's right, GB have already announced Dickenson and Benson as travelling reserves. In Aus there is talk of 2 male and 2 female reserves expecting to be going. They haven't been announced so not sure how true.
I was also under the impression they would be being tested very regularly in the village.
I don't see why you would have to be silly to catch a virus once in the village. If someone picked it up on the way to the airport they may not have enough antibodies to be showing positive on arrival and could spread around the village. Staff in the village may bring it in, shuttle bus drivers, so many ways it could happen.I am sure everyone will be doing everything in their power to try to protect themselves but it could still happen, so I would say unfortunate not silly.
