IOC Bach Chairman "Tokyo Olympics will be held only in a safe environment" 4:30 on September 10
Bach of the International Olympic Committee, IOC, said that the Tokyo Olympics will be discussed intensively in the coming weeks on measures to prevent the transmission of the new coronavirus, and the conditions for holding the event are only in a safe environment. I re-emphasized the conventional view of holding a competition.
The IOC held an online board meeting on the 9th, after which Chairman Bach held an interview.
Among them, about the Tokyo Olympics, ``We will hold important and intensive discussions on various scenarios of new coronavirus countermeasures in the coming weeks,'' and a coordinating committee to confirm the preparation status of the event will be held from 24th of this month. With that in mind, I have clarified the idea of intensive discussion on antivirus.
On the other hand, regarding the conditions for holding the tournament, Coates Coordinating Chairman, Vice Chairman of IOC, told French news agency this month that the tournament will start on July 23 next year with or without the new coronavirus. Bach said in a press conference today that he will continue to uphold the principle of hosting next summer's tournament in a safe environment for all parties. I re-emphasized the conventional view.
