Most Tokyo Games attendees enter Japan under eased quarantine rules
More than 1,600 foreign staff and athletes involved in the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics entered Japan during a period of over one and a half months through mid-May under special exceptional circumstances, with the most receiving relaxed self-quarantine requirements, the Tokyo Games Organizing Committee said Monday.
A total of 1,649 attendees arrived in Japan between April 1 and May 16. Of those, 1,432, including athletes for test events and broadcasting personnel, were exempted from Japan s 14-day self-quarantine requirement.
These people were allowed to engage in their work in restricted areas of movement and modes of transportation after a three-day quarantine provided they take COVID-19 tests on the third, eighth and 14th day of their arrival, the committee said.
