First of all, I would like to protect the athletes, such as how to support them in the unlikely event that they become positive, and at the same time, take thorough measures to prevent the spread of infection for a safe and secure tournament. "
School cooperation watching ticket "Implemented after taking safety measures"
In addition, regarding children's watching games with school cooperation watching tickets, "Because there is a large educational element for the realization of a symbiotic society, we have set up wards, cities, towns and villages and schools based on the intentions of parents and others. We will take safety measures and implement them if people wish. "
On the other hand, when asked by reporters, "Amidst a disaster-grade infection, the message of going to the stadium to see and experience a symbiotic society may lead to encouraging movement." To that end, we will proceed with meticulous safety measures. That's all. "
Tokyo executives "I'm not urging the general public to go out"
Regarding the implementation of watching children's games with school cooperation watching tickets at the Tokyo Paralympics, Tokyo executives said, "Because it is important to control the flow of people in light of the infection situation, it is said that there are no spectators to avoid moving many people. The conclusion is that just because children can watch the game does not mean that the general public is encouraged to go out. "
