[Southern + November 18th News] According to media reports, on November 17, the President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach (Thomas Bach) said that participants in the Tokyo Olympics (including athletes and spectators) are encouraged to be vaccinated against the new crown, but not Hard requirements.
According to reports, if the new crown vaccine can be published in time before the Tokyo Olympics from July 23 to August 8, 2021, the International Olympic Committee will bear the cost of the new crown vaccine required for the competition. For foreign audiences watching the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the new crown vaccine is not mandatory. However, out of courtesy and respect for the Japanese people, the International Olympic Committee strongly encourages the new crown vaccine. Many polls show that the Japanese people are worried about the large number of overseas audience visits during the game. Bach stated that whether or not to inject the new crown vaccine should be determined according to the health of each person, and of course whether the new crown vaccine can be obtained. The International Olympic Committee urges athletes and spectators to consciously inject the new crown vaccine, but it is all based on personal wishes and does not make rigid requirements.
Bach believes that Japan can organize safe sports events. Through recent events, especially baseball games, allowing spectators to watch the games live under strict protection measures has achieved great success.
All athletes should have confidence in future epidemic prevention measures, and the Tokyo Olympics next year will be held safely.
