The organizers of the delayed Tokyo Olympics announced a set of rules governing how teams move about and interact in order to avoid the spread of the coronavirus, assuming that the games will go ahead this summer as planned.
Coronavirus tests will be conducted before and after arrival in Japan and then at least every four days, with movements in the country limited to a pre-determined plan, according to the first version of the “Playbook” unveiled on Wednesday. The document was prepared by the Tokyo Organizing Committee, the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee.
