Hashimoto, chairman of the International Olympic Committee, said that IOC President Bach of the International Olympic Committee has revealed that he intends to provide vaccines made in China to desired athletes and officials at the Tokyo and Beijing Games. At the press conference of the day, the holding of the Tokyo Games reiterated the idea that vaccination is not a prerequisite.
At the IOC's 11th General Assembly, President Bach revealed his intention to provide Chinese-made vaccines to athletes and officials who wish to attend the Tokyo and Beijing competitions.
Regarding this, Chairman Hashimoto of the Organizing Committee said at a press conference on the 12th, "I understand that the IOC will work on the offer from the Chinese side, and I am not in a position to comment. It is premised on vaccines. Since there is no Tokyo Organizing Committee, there is no change in the situation where we will do our utmost to take measures against corona to protect the health of athletes. "
On top of that, "Chairman Bach commented that many people could be vaccinated and come to Japan to provide peace of mind and safety to the Japanese people. I am very eager to proceed with such efforts. Isn't it strong? "
On the other hand, regarding the fact that there was no prior adjustment from the IOC side, "I myself am less than a year before the Beijing tournament, and it is very important for China, which is preparing, so I proceeded with talking with the IOC. I'm wondering if it was. "
