G SPORTS: CORONAVIRUS ALERTS IN TOKYO







Hamilton in self-isolation
Lewis Hamilton has confirmed he's been in self-isolation - but says he's showing no symptoms.
Hamilton was pictured at the same event as Idris Elba and Sophie Trudeau - wife of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Both have since confirmed a positive test for Covid-19.

"I wanted to let you know that I'm doing well, feeling healthy and working out twice a day," he told fans in a message on Twitter.
"I have zero symptoms and it's now been 17 days since I saw Sophie and Idris.
"I have been in touch with Idris and happy to hear he is OK.
"I did speak to my doctor and double checked if I needed to take a test but the truth is, there is a limited amount of tests and there are people who need it more than I do, especially when I wasn't showing any symptoms at all. So what I've done is keep myself isolated this past week, actually since practice was cancelled last Friday."
Olympics 'can't take place as scheduled'
UK Athletics chairman Nic Coward said: "We thought the facilities would be able to remain open," Coward told the Daily Telegraph.
"Now they can't. They are closing. And that is creating stress.

"I think that will have to lead to the conclusion that the Games must be (postponed); that the decision has to be made that the Olympic and Paralympic Games can't take place as currently scheduled.
"I've got no doubt, absolutely no doubt, that Tokyo will host an amazing Olympics.
"The issue right now is people and the stress."
