Ioc Officials Arriving In Japan For Coordination
The International Olympic Committee official in charge of coordination for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics arrived in Japan on Tuesday for final preparations.
IOC Coordination Commission Chair John Coates will start working with officials on site after undergoing a three-day quarantine.
The visit comes after Coates emphasized at a news conference last month that the Tokyo Games can go ahead, even if the nation's capital is under a coronavirus state of emergency.
The preparations will include how to put in place measures to reduce infection risks, which he has already discussed online with officials of the Games organizing committee.
Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi and Alex Gilady, vice chair of the Coordination Commission, will also fly into Japan on Tuesday.
