From next month, when the entry of athletes from the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will begin in earnest, Narita Airport will set up a lane dedicated to tournament officials as an infection control measure, and will respond by separating the movement routes of athletes and general users. became.
Of the nine Ugandan athletes who arrived at Narita Airport on the 19th of this month for the Tokyo tournament, two have been confirmed to be infected so far, and the athletes who came to Japan along with border measures such as inspections at the airport. Infection control measures when moving is an issue.
For this reason, at Narita Airport, from the 1st of next month, when the arrival of athletes and other tournament officials will begin in earnest, we will take measures to separate the travel routes of athletes and general users.
Based on the "Playbook" that the Organizing Committee and others have summarized the rules for infection control, quarantine, immigration, customs will set up lanes dedicated to the tournament, and there will be a boarding area for chartered buses used by athletes and tournament officials. This means that players and other users will not come into contact with each other, such as by installing them.
In addition, we have decided to reopen a part of the terminal building that was closed due to the decrease in users due to the new corona and expand the space.
It is expected that more than 30,000 athletes and related parties will use Narita Airport at the Tokyo Games, and Akihiko Tamura, president of Narita Airport Company, said at a press conference, "The quarantine station and the organizing committee will take appropriate measures. I want to respond promptly and accurately so that I can do it at the airport. "
