There is also a tournament lane at Narita Airport
As the team's arrival in Japan for the Tokyo Olympics began in earnest, a lane dedicated to the Games was set up at Narita Airport from the 1st as an infection control measure, and measures began to separate the movement routes of athletes and general users.
The team's arrival in Japan for the Tokyo Olympics, which will start on the 23rd of this month, is in full swing, and according to the Cabinet Secretariat, a total of about 130 athletes are expected to arrive at Narita Airport and Haneda Airport on the 1st.
At Narita Airport, 20 American boxing teams scheduled to camp in Miyazaki City at around 4:30 pm on the 1st arrived and used a dedicated lane provided to avoid contact with general users. I went through the immigration procedure.
The American team finally got off the aircraft, wore a mask in a dark blue jersey, and waved at the press's camera.
After being guided by the staff of the Games Organizing Committee and moving around the airport, I sat in a chair prepared by the quarantine station and filled out the documents required at the time of entry.
After undergoing an antigen test in a dedicated space, immigration and customs are supposed to go through a dedicated lane and exit to the arrival lobby from an exit different from general users.
In addition, at quarantine stations, etc., if an infected person is found in the Ugandan team that arrived last month and the team that came to Japan is confirmed to be infected, a close contact will be made based on the seat information of the aircraft. We will classify suspected people and move them to temporary accommodation facilities by a dedicated bus.
