Athletes competing in the Tokyo Olympics may be monitored by a GPS system, according to the CEO of the Tokyo organizing committee Toshiro Muto at a press conference.
The GPS tracking system will not track athletes' real-time movement. Instead, athletes will be tracked retroactively in case issues of COVID-19 arise.
In addition to athletes, international media members could be considered for monitoring.
Tokyo remains under a state of emergency due to a rise in COVID-19 cases. The Olympics are more than six weeks away. The Tokyo Summer Games will begin on July 23 and run to Aug.
