Hungarian Olympic swimmer Boglarka Kapas tests positive for coronavirus

Hungarian Olympic swimmer Boglarka Kapas says she has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Kapas, 26, said in an Instagram post that she had to submit to testing in order to return to training. She says her first test was negative but a second test showed she has the virus.

She is staying in quarantine at home for two weeks.

Kapas said, "I don't have any symptoms yet and that's why it's important for you to know that even if you feel healthy you can spread the virus."

Kapas won gold in the 200-meter butterfly at the 2019 world championships in China and a bronze medal in the 800-meter freestyle at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
