At a press conference on the 7th, IOC President Bach said that athletes participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games are “not obliged” to vaccinate against the novel coronavirus, but at the same time, he clearly called on athletes to consider their athletes’ companions and the Olympics, because vaccination is not only about themselves, but also about the unity of athletes.
And do your part for the safe hosting of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Bach also revealed at the press conference that as part of the response to the COVID-19 epidemic, the International Olympic Committee has formulated joint guidelines applicable to the Tokyo Olympic Village, requiring the Olympic Committee of all countries and regions to minimize the number of athletes living in the Olympic Village.
Athletes can arrive at the Olympic Village five days before the start of the competition and leave at most two days after the end of the competition.
