东京奥组委同国际奥委会、国际残奥委会近日联合发布东京奥运规则手册，手册汇总了入境日本14天前，到离开日本这段时期的行动规范等事项，其中明确规定了“赴日后需隔离14天”等细则。这是奥运会历史上首次推出此类规则手册，违反规定者或被取消参赛资格。

 

Singing or chanting will be discouraged at the re-arranged Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in a bid to safeguard against the spread of coronavirus.

 

Instead, those attending the Olympics - due to begin on 23 July - and Paralympics - set to start on 24 August - will be encouraged to clap in order to show support.

 

The suggestion is one of a number of rules detailed¹ in a 'Playbook' published by organisers.

 

The first Playbook is aimed at members of international federations² and technical officials but further versions due to be published will be aimed at athletes and media.

 

The move to highlight the processes in place to ensure a safe Games comes as organisers stress they are committed to a "successful and safe delivery" of the Games, despite Tokyo currently being in a state of emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Under a page titled "think hygiene³" the Playbook says individuals should "support athletes by clapping and not singing or chanting".

 

In addition attendees will have to complete a "14-day activity plan" detailing "all your planned activities", including travel and accommodation plans.

 

While the Playbook is not aimed at athletes, it would also appear competitors may not be allowed to attend other sporting events at the Games.

 

It states "you must not visit Games venues⁴ as a spectator" and "you must not visit tourist areas, shops, restaurants or bars and gyms" for the first 14 days from arrival.

 

"You must only leave your accommodation to go to Official Games Venues and limited additional locations," the Playbook adds.

 

The first Playbook, published jointly⁵ by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee and the Tokyo 2020 organising committee, says the aim is to keep participants and the people of Japan safe.

 

The plans stress, however, that risk cannot be "fully⁶ eliminated" and that attendees do so "at your own risk".

 

A vaccination⁷ will not be compulsory⁸ for those attending the Games, although a negative Covid-19 test in the four weeks leading up to the event will be, while athletes will be tested a minimum of every four days during the Games.

 

Attendees must adhere to the rules outlined in their Playbook or risk having their accreditation⁹ or right to be at the Games withdrawn¹⁰.

 

Further guidelines include avoiding enclosed spaces and physical contact "including hugs and handshakes", and that public transport should not be used unless permission is given.

 

IOC president Thomas Bach has repeatedly stressed that the Games will go ahead despite speculation¹¹ to the contrary.

 

IOC executive director Christophe Dubi said: "We know these Olympic Games will be different in a number of ways. For all Games participants, there will be some conditions and constraints¹² that will require flexibility¹³ and understanding.

 

"You will see that we have asked for an activity plan, why? Not because we want to restrict the freedom, but because we want to make sure that all activities are taking place safely and in case there is an issue everybody can be informed properly and traced back, people can be contacted when needed.
