Buenos Aires: The Argentine government gave the green light to its athletes to return to the exercises in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics, which was deported from this summer to the summer of 2021 because of the new Corona virus, according to what it announced on Saturday evening, stressing the need to respect health controls.
This measure affects 143 Argentine athletes who were guaranteeing their eligibility for the 2020 Olympic Games, as well as others who are still seeking to qualify for the one-year-old Olympics that will be held between July 23 and August 8, 2021.
Argentine President Alberto Fernandez has said that he is working in particular with the Minister of Tourism and Sports Matias Lamines to amend the health protocols that will be implemented.
“Olympic sport is very important for the country and we want the athletes to train. That is why we have defined the protocols with Matthias (Lameens) so our Tokyo representatives can prepare,” Fernandez told TYC, a local sports channel.
Argentina has recorded 20,200 cases of the “Covid-19” virus, which has so far killed 648 people in the country, according to the Argentine government’s website on the Internet.
