A FB post from RSM. Dude got all his shots and ended up testing positive, even though he is healthy as a button and tested negative twice before leaving Korea..

It is with great disappointment that I have to inform you that I will not be able to attend the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 at present. Despite having been fully vaccinated with two doses, and I got the 2times negative result in covid-19 test and having taken my departure tests when leaving Korea, however I was tested positive for COVID 19 upon arrival at Narita airport this afternoon. The protocol worked really well, I was immediately brought to the official isolation facility where I will wait until I have the official clearance and it is safe that I leave the room. I am completely asymptomatic which probably has to do with the fact that I am vaccinated. I apologise to the Organising Committee, our hosts here in Japan, and the IOC for the inconvenience I have caused. I want to thank everyone for their diligent work. My case is just another proof that the system put in place to protect all of us is effective.

Update...

I am in quarantine and following the protocols, so far, I am feeling very well just as normal and during the quarantine for the last couple of days, I have attended meeting twice via online.
I very much appreciate all the warm and caring messages from all of you.
Also, I would like to share a very happy and pleasing news that all the people(including my family

) who have been in close contact with me before I departed Korea have all been tested negative in their COVID-19 tests.
I am very happy to hear this wonderful news and I promise I will recover soon.
Once again, I would like to apologies to all the stakeholders for any inconvenience I have caused
Thank you
