Returnees can practice during the 14-day waiting period by relaxing restrictions. Organizing Committee, etc. October 9, 22:47

A meeting was held by the government, Tokyo, and the Organizing Committee for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, and restrictions were relaxed under certain conditions for athletes returning from overseas, and practice was held during the 14-day waiting period. Decided to admit.

The meeting held at the Prime Minister's Office was attended by Deputy Secretary-General Sugita, as well as representatives from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Organizing Committee.

Then, for athletes who participated in international competitions and returned from overseas, the health status is reported daily, restrictions are relaxed under certain conditions such as not using public transportation for transportation, and a waiting period of 14 days. I decided to allow practice inside.

This time, the targets are JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee and JPC = Japan Paralympic Committee strengthening designated athletes and their leaders, etc. By allowing practice during the waiting period, conditions can be adjusted and abilities can be maintained. There is an aim to do so.

In addition, at the meeting, we will decide on infection control measures at the competition venue, check the body temperature at the entrance, use lockers at intervals, reduce the number of seats at the cafeteria in the Olympic Village, and serve food individually. I'm trying to do it.

JOC "Thanks for mitigation"

Tsuyoshi Fukui, Managing Director of the JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee, commented on the relaxation of waiting conditions after returning from overseas expeditions of Japanese athletes and related parties, saying, "It takes a considerable amount of time for athletes to recover when they take a break from practice. It has become easier to formulate strategies. Especially, not only athletes, but also directors, coaches, and other people who are indispensable for practice can be targeted, and when they come back from an overseas expedition, they can immediately practice with peace of mind. I really want to thank them. " I was talking.

In addition, at the meeting, during the Games, the venue and the Olympic Village were requested to be considered so that they could move directly from external strengthening bases, and the Games Organizing Committee moved the athletes and related parties to prevent infection in the Olympic Village. It means that we have confirmed that we will perform "zoning" to determine the range that can be done in advance.

Managing Director Fukui said, "By observing the rules and zoning for infection control, athletes can concentrate on the competition."

In addition, Junichi Kawai, chairman of the JPC = Japan Paralympic Committee, said that he would fully support infection control in the Olympic Village and the competition venue, and said, "In the case of Para, in the case of goalballs and judo, it is inevitable for visually impaired people. It would be a problem if you were told that you had to move with a guide and did not follow the rules of conduct such as social distance. I told you that I would like to make adjustments and consultations. ”He requested measures based on the characteristics of the disability. I did.
