Nov 19 (Kyodo) - The organizers of the postponed Tokyo Olympics may limit competitors' stays in the athletes' village and require participants to maintain social distance in order to prevent coronavirus infections, officials said Wednesday.
Following a three-day project review of the Tokyo Games with the governing bodies of the Olympics and Paralympics, Toshiro Muto, the local organizing committee's CEO, said the organizations will continue discussions on the topics, focusing on how to ensure a safe environment at the games.
Muto said the three bodies -- the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the organizing committee -- will consider asking athletes and people who come into contact with them to maintain a 2-meter distance from each other in principle.
