Their nationality was not disclosed but it was specified that they are not Japanese athletes. A third athlete tested positive but was not in the Olympic village. The facility, located in Tokyo Bay, hosts 11 thousand athletes. The Japanese capital is in a state of emergency and will remain there until 22 August.
All this despite the entry system for athletes and for those who for various reasons are coming to Japan to follow the Games is very stringent. Regardless of vaccinations, in fact, it is necessary to have a double negative molecular swab to be carried out at home within 96 and 72 hours before departure for Tokyo.
A salivary test is then scheduled at the airport of arrival and only in the event of a positive result will you be able to land in Japan. But that’s not all: for the first 14 days of stay you will not be able to have contact with the local population, nor use public transport or taxis not managed by the organization, nor go to bars or restaurants. Before leaving, it was necessary to present a Plan of the activities that you intend to carry out and the sites you want to visit subject to the approval of the committee.
After the approval, you register on two apps that will monitor the observance of the plan by the applicant and his state of health (the journalists who will have more contacts than the athletes, blocked in turn in the village until the end of their tests , for example, they will be subjected to frequent tampons during their stay in GIappone).
