As a result of this positive test result, this delegation member has now gone into self isolation, in accordance with health and safety regulations. As a precaution, all other members of the Polish delegation will also go into self isolation and will be given a PCR test.
This news means that the Polish delegation will miss the Turquoise carpet and Opening Ceremony, due to be held on Sunday 16th May at 17:00 CET. At the moment, it is not know what will happen with regards to their performance in the second semi final on Thursday 20th May, but we will be sure to keep you updated when we know any more information.
