In preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, and the Tokyo organizing committee have released their first COVID-19 playbook, which details information about the processes and guidelines that must be followed before, during, and after the games.
The playbook, released Wednesday and the first of four, is aimed at international federations, including delegates, judges, jury members, international federation staff, and medical officers. The other three playbooks will be for athletes, the press, and broadcasters, and will be released in the coming days.
The playbooks are designed not just to help the thousands of athletes, federation members, and media members enter and exit Japan safely, but to assure the Japanese public that the games are safe to take place.
