The government and Tokyo Olympic organizers are rushing to tighten anti-virus measures at airports following a ruckus over a Ugandan delegation granted entry into Japan after a coach tested positive for COVID-19 and was quarantined.
They want to be able to identify who had close contact with an infected at the airport if a member of an Olympic delegation tests positive for the novel coronavirus in the future, sources said.
The central government came under fire after the team was allowed to travel to Izumisano in Osaka Prefecture, only hours after the infection of the team member was confirmed during a PCR test at Narita Airport outside Tokyo on June 19.
