Meeting Begins On Anti - Virus Steps For Tokyo Games
Working-level talks have begun for anti-coronavirus measures for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Officials from the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the International Olympic and Paralympic committees opened their three-day online meeting on Monday.
They will work out details for the guidelines, called the "playbook," describing anti-infection measures and rules released by Olympic officials earlier this month.
There are separate playbooks for athletes, international sports organizations, and the media.
The participants in the meeting are expected to discuss issues related to the entry into and departure from Japan, virus test procedures, the management of the Olympic village, and transportation.
The officials are also likely to take up coronavirus measures for the Olympic torch relay, due to start on March 25, and test events that are scheduled to resume in April.
The organizing committee's Director General, Muto Toshiro, is scheduled to give a news conference on the final day.
