Title: Re: The 2026 Winter Olympic Games Illness Tracking Thread
Post by: Data Report on February 01, 2026, 11:05:56 pm
This did not take long; we already have our first Olympic related illness.

"Two staff members working with Australia's Winter Olympic team have tested positive to COVID-19.

The individuals, who will not be competing at the 25th edition of the Olympic Winter Games, were symptomatic and tested positive on January 28 and 31, with measures in place to contain any possible spread of infection. "

Title: The 2026 Winter Olympic Games Illness Tracking Thread

The 2026 Winter Olympic Games will be taking place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from February 6 to February 22, 2026. This will be the tracking thread for any illness that pops up before, during, and after the Olympic Games. The definition of illness before the games is anyone who has to withdraw and not attend due to an illness. Based on previous Olympics during the Covid era, I suspect we will see many illness outbreaks.
