According to the ROC Information Service, the collections of recommendations for the safe Olympic Games, published in February 2021, have been revised and updated.

It is noted that this decision was associated with the emergence of new strains of coronavirus and the current development of the pandemic around the world.

A number of new rules were approved that must be followed by all parties while in Japan.

The most important ones are presented below.

1. All persons before going to the Land of the Rising Sun must pass two tests for coronavirus infection.

2. Athletes and their entourage (coaches, doctors, massage therapists, etc.) will be tested daily to minimize the risk of spreading the disease.

The date and time of taking analyzes will be set in accordance with the competition schedule.

3. All other participants in the Games will be tested daily for the first three days after arriving in Japan.

Further testing schedule depends on the position held and the frequency of contacts with athletes.

4. All participants in the Olympic Games are obliged to perform exclusively the tasks set out in their own action plan.

All contacts within one meter with people who have been in Japan for two weeks or more, as well as with citizens of the country, should be minimized.

5. All specialists involved in the Games are obliged to use only accredited vehicles.

Traveling by public transport is strictly prohibited.

6. Food is only permitted in areas with strict anti-coronavirus measures, including venues in the Games arenas, restaurants at official hotels and hotel rooms.

7. Contact people are considered to be in close proximity - within a radius of one meter and without a mask - with a sick person for 15 minutes or more.

This is especially important to consider when interacting in closed spaces: hotel rooms, cars, and so on.

Officially, all identified cases of the disease will be reported by representatives of the Japanese health authorities.

Earlier it was reported that the decision on the admission of fans to the Olympic Games-2020 will be made in June.
