Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Mass gatherings and COVID-19
section_headers: What should be the criteria for excluding an athlete or other accredited participant from competing?
section_content: Agreed health criteria are needed for the exclusion of athletes from competing
and for allowing them to return to competition wherever appropriate. These
should be consistent with public health guidelines for the general population,
with risk profiles based on recent travel to high-risk community transmission
zones, recent contact with individuals diagnosed with or suspected of having
COVID-19, current symptomatology, etc. Athletes who are feeling unwell should
not participate in events.
If testing of athletes has been agreed with the local public health service
there is a need to consider test availability, time taken for receipt of test
results and host-country health services capacity.
Criteria for exclusion of officials/judges from competition and for allowing
them to return to competition where appropriate should follow guidance and
criteria for the workplace.
Requirements for the attendance of all athletes and other accredited
participants should be put in place:
– health check: travel declaration and temperature screening
– contact tracing protocols ready (with all details of those present)
– allowing extra spacing (physical distancing)
– following all hygiene precautions.
Isolation procedures for athletes and other accredited participants (e.g.
field-of-play staff, medical teams, officials who have close contact with the
athletes) who feel unwell or become symptomatic should be clear and documented
and rehearsed prior to holding the event, especially for higher risk sports,
e.g. contact sports.

page_title: Q&A: Mass gatherings and COVID-19
section_headers: Should event organizers provide COVID-19 testing?
section_content: No, testing should be conducted in accordance with local health providers and
national guidance. Anyone unwell or symptomatic should not be allowed to
participate in the event. Establish close collaboration with local public
health authorities well before the event, to facilitate testing for athletes,
officials or spectators who meet pre-agreed suspect cases definitions.
Consider host-country health service capacity to manage any COVID-19 activity,
and other public health issues happening at the event over and above its own
national pandemic response.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Makes it clear that anyone testing positive or showing symptoms shouldn't be allowed to participate in events.
This answer only relates to COVID-19 testing and not to athletes.
