January 27th – About half a year before the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games, whether the conference can be successfully held under the epidemic has always been the focus of doubts from all walks of life.
On the 26th local time, the International Olympic Committee said that it recommended athletes and relevant people to be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus before going to Japan, but it was not an obligation.
According to Japan’s Kyodo News Agency on the 27th, the International Olympic Committee also said that priority should be given to the vaccination of medical practitioners and vulnerable groups in society against the novel coronavirus.
“This is for the sake of hosting a safe Olympic Games and for the Japanese people.” In order to let the International Olympic Committee know the vaccination situation of 206 countries and regions participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Olympic Organizing Committees of various countries will report to it in early February.
