Tokyo feared Games would spread COVID; numbers suggest that didn't happen

" - a set of venues, hotels and the media centre to which those coming for the Games had been mostly confined - tell a different story.

Brian McCloskey, the lead adviser on the "bubble" to Olympic organisers, said he would not point to any one specific measure that worked best. The situation inside the "bubble" stood in sharp contrast to outside, with a surge in infections fuelled by the Delta variant hitting daily records and for the first time crossing 5,000 in the host city, threatening to overwhelm Tokyo's hospitals.In the bubble, reporters, during their two-week quarantine, had to report their temperature and condition daily and download a contact-tracing app.

McCloskey echoed the Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in saying that he did not think the Games contributed to the spike in infections in Tokyo.

No crowds.
