Australian Olympic swimmer Madi Wilson announced that she has tested positive for Covid-19 and is hospitalized in Italy as a precaution because of “underlying chest and lung issues.”
Wilson, who competes with the Los Angeles Current team in the International Swimming League, or ISL, wrote that she tested positive even though she is “double vaccinated and took the right precaution set in place through the ISL.”
Wilson, who was in Naples, Italy, for an ISL competition, said she would be forced to miss the next match.
“Covid is a serious thing and when it comes it hits very hard,” she wrote. “I’d be stupid to say I wasn’t scared.”
Wilson guessed that she might have been more susceptible to a breakthrough Covid infection after “a crazy few months,” including the Tokyo Summer Olympic Games, had left her “run down physically and mentally.”
