The British Olympic Association (BOA) has written to the President of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to provide assurance that the athletes and staff of Team GB are “doing everything possible to minimise any risk to the people of Japan” ahead of the Olympic Games.
In a letter to President Hashimoto, the BOA’s Chair, Sir Hugh Robertson, outlined additional testing measures for the delegation members prior to departure, over and above the requirements of the Tokyo 2020 ‘Playbooks’.
With over 76% of the adult population of the United Kingdom having received the first dose of the vaccine, and over 53% having received both, the BOA is in the advanced stages of ensuring the entire British delegation is fully vaccinated for the Games.
