Regarding the Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay, which will start on the 25th of this month, the Games Organizing Committee has set the criteria for judging "crowded" along the road to the extent that many spectators touch their shoulders. We have clarified the response policy such as "skip" and proceed to the next.
The Organizing Committee has set up a team to respond to the situation of Corona at the torch relay, and on the 16th, Secretary-General Muto, who is the top executive, met and announced the response policy.
According to this, the criteria for judging "dense" along the road are such that many spectators touch their shoulders and that they are stacked in multiple rows without sufficient space.
Then, the staff and public relations vehicles along the road call for movement and dispersal, and cooperate with the police to pay attention. If the problem persists, "skip" the location and proceed to the next step.
In addition, when an infected person is confirmed by the operation staff or the torchbearer, the scale of infection and the degree of impact are divided into three stages: small, medium, and large
. In "Small", operate as usual by changing the placement, etc.
▼
Consider a reduction plan in "Medium" where it is difficult to substitute personnel,
▼ In "Large" when a group of infected people = clusters occur Public road relays will be considered for cancellation.
In addition, if a cluster occurs in each prefecture, we will consider "skipping" as part of the route.
Secretary-General Muto concluded that "the mood of the tournament should be raised and the measures to be taken against corona should be balanced and the emphasis should be placed on the safe and secure torch relay. I think it will lead to excitement. "
