The full statement of EBU:

The two members of the Icelandic and Polish delegations who tested positive for COVID 19 remain in isolation. The rest of their delegations have all returned negative PCR tests.

As a further precautionary measure, the Polish delegation will be tested again prior to the Dress Rehearsal on Wednesday, and again on Thursday before Semi Final 2. The Icelandic artists, and necessary support, will also be tested again on Wednesday and Thursday, as they have not been in close contact with the infected person. The remainder of the Icelandic delegation will remain in quarantine.

We look forward to welcoming them all back to the Rotterdam Ahoy later this week.

As previously stated both Malta and Romania who had been isolated on Sunday due to infections in their hotel, have had negative results and will be appearing in tonight’s first Semi-Final.
