Belgian athlete Kim Meylemans was allowed into the Olympic village to continue her COVID isolation today after posting a tearful video on Instagram detailing her treatment.

Meylemans had contracted COVID-19 in early January but recovered and had received a dozen negative test results in the weeks prior to traveling to China this weekend, the Times reported.

“I am supposed to stay here for another seven days with two PCRs a day and no contact with anybody else," she added. "I am allowed to slide alone. We are not even sure I will ever be allowed to enter the Village.” "I'm not sure I can handle 14 more days and the Olympic competition while being this isolation," she concluded.
