By the numbers: As of Saturday, 436 athletes, coaches and stakeholders had tested positive for COVID-19 out of 1.7 million tests conducted since Jan. 23, according to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.

184 athletes and team officials have tested positive since Jan. 23, including U.S. bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor and U.S. figure skater Vincent Zhou.

At least six members of Russia’s women’s ice hockey team tested positive in one of the largest team outbreaks, leading teams squaring off against the Russians to wear masks on the ice.

Cases in the bubble have been in the single digits for five straight days and new cases, most of which had been found at the Beijing airport, largely dropped off as the Games went on, per the committee.
