STORY: The Tokyo 2020 CEO confirmed on Wednesday (September 23) that measures for next year's delayed Olympic Games, including the frequency of tests, are still under discussion.
"We will continue to discuss the detailed plans and prepare for the interim report by December. Therefore, no decisions have been made," said Muto, after a meeting between the Tokyo 2020 organising committee, the Japanese government and the Tokyo metropolitan authorities.
Muto also mentioned that possible plans were in discussion to allow athletes to participate in competitions and practices even during the 14-day waiting period after arrival in Japan, adding that he hoped deliberations with the IOC and various international sports federations would be finalized by December.
According to draft measures released on Wednesday, organisers of the Games will require coronavirus tests of foreign athletes upon their arrival in Japan, but may not mandate a two-week quarantine period.
Japanese athletes and other participants living in Japan would face similar requirements when travelling to training camps and competition venues under the planned measures, shown in the draft.
The pandemic, which has infected millions worldwide, has cast a shadow over the viability of next year's Games.
