Calvo out of the AA final due to Covid

Jossimar Calvo finished 20th, qualifying for the all-around final. But is now in quarantine after testing positive.

How did he get the virus with so many safety protocols in place?

I certainly hope it wasn’t a false positive.

The competition was delayed over an hour while being disinfected. That included taking all chalk off the H Bar.
