According to an interview with the people involved in the Games, we are considering imposing a fine if the athletes and officials participating in the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics violate the rules necessary to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus.

At the Tokyo Organizing Committee, the Games Organizing Committee and the IOC (International Olympic Committee, etc.) have created a "playbook" that summarizes the rules necessary to prevent infection of the new corona for participating athletes and related parties, and will update it next week. I am aiming to announce it.



In the playbook, the frequency of inspections and the range of actions are set for each position such as players and related parties, but it is said to the tournament officials that they are considering imposing fines if they violate the rules. I found out in the interview.



The Organizing Committee has already decided to take measures to cancel the ID card called "accreditation card" in the event of a serious violation, and to manage the behavior by utilizing the GPS function of the smartphone. , Ensuring the effectiveness of the rules has become an issue.



At a press conference on the 11th, Chairman Hashimoto of the Organizing Committee said, "We should discuss and decide on the fines," and said, "I am relieved that the safety of the Games will not be communicated to the public. I don't think it will lead to this. I want to avoid violations as much as possible, but to ensure safety, I have to tighten behavioral regulations. "
