Acting President of the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) Pavel Rozhkov said that the delegation of the Russian national team at the Summer Paralympic Games will not be quarantined upon arrival in Tokyo.


"If everything goes well, then according to the regulations of the Tokyo organizing committee, no one will be quarantined," RIA Novosti quotes Rozhkov.

He said that three weeks ago, the Tokyo organizing committee, taking into account the difficult epidemiological situation in Moscow, decided to increase the number of PCR tests and send those arriving from the capital of Russia to a conditional three-day quarantine.

“Just a couple of days ago, they revised the requirements, and the restrictions were lifted,” Rozhkov said.

The Paralympic Games in Tokyo will be held from August 24 to September 5.

Earlier, he said that the Russian national team had passed electronic registration for the Paralympic Games.
