NZ athlete isolating ahead of Commonwealth Games

From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 25 July 2022

One New Zealand athlete is in isolation in Birmingham ahead of the Commonwealth Games, which start this Friday morning.

There are very few Covid protocols in Birmingham and a positive test won't necessarily rule an athlete out of competing at the Games.

New Zealand Olympic Committee chef de mission Nigel Avery told Bridget Tunnicliffe they are in a good position because the New Zealand team undertook extra testing early on.
