Australia's Olympic swimmers will soon be tested for COVID-19 but fears have eased that five athletes were potentially exposed to the virus.
Five swimmers - Kyle Chalmers, Mack Horton, Madi Wilson, Tamsin Cook, and Zac Incerti - visited Magnetic Island in Queensland on Sunday.
The island has since been listed as an exposure site because a hospital worker holidaying there has tested positive to the Delta variant of COVID-19.
But the five swimmers, who had been staying in Townsville, were not at the island at the same time as the infected person.
"Members of the Townsville group ... visited outside of the low-risk exposure period that was updated on the Queensland Health website last night," a Swimming Australia (SA) spokesperson said on Wednesday.
"(They) have not visited any other (exposure) locations as identified by Queensland Health for the region."
Australia's 35-strong swim team for next month's Tokyo Olympics have been fully vaccinated.
They are all now in Cairns for a training camp starting on Saturday.
The five swimmers who visited Magnetic Island are being separated from the other athletes as a precaution.
The entire Olympic swim team will be tested for coronavirus on Wednesday but it was as yet unknown when they would receive their results, the SA spokesperson said.
