International sports federation staff and athletes can be expected to face coronavirus testing or temperature checks before traveling to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, upon arrival and regularly during the Games, organizers said Wednesday in publishing the first in a series of playbooks outlining virus countermeasures.
The 32-page international sports federation playbook included principles for staff and technical officials. Playbooks for athletes and other groups are expected to be published over the next week, but the sports federations playbook provides the framework for the others.
Playbooks are expected to be updated at least two more times as the global virus situation becomes clearer ahead of the July 23 Olympic Opening Ceremony.
