[앵커]
It turns out that the Japanese government is considering accepting foreign tourists during the Tokyo Olympics next summer. In addition, the competition management plan is being finalized one by one, such as allowing the players who finished the competition to leave the athletes’ village early. For more information, try connecting with a Tokyo correspondent. Correspondent Lee Kyung-ah! Isn’t it currently prohibited to enter Japan for tourism purposes? Are you saying that you can only enter the country during the Olympics? Yes. The targets the Japanese government is considering to allow entry are foreign tourists with tickets to the Tokyo Olympics, to be held next summer. The Yomiuri Shimbun said it is considering allowing such foreigners to enter the country, subject to examination before departure and immediately after entering Japan. He also added that it is policy to allow foreign visitors to install a ‘health care app’ while in Japan. A Japanese government official predicted in an interview with the newspaper that “Covid-19 quarantine measures against foreign visitors during the Olympics will be a touchstone to allow full entry of tourists.” So, I mean, the Japanese government hopes to allow foreign tourists to enter the country after August next year when the Olympics are over. The Japanese government and the IOC are strongly expressing their intention to host the Tokyo Olympics. Amid the spread of Corona 19, there are still concerns about whether it can be played normally. Yes. The Japanese government has announced that starting this month, foreigners who are eligible to stay for more than three months will be accepted worldwide. This decision was made at the first meeting of the Corona 19 Countermeasures Headquarters after the inauguration of the Suga cabinet. For the celebration of the Olympic Games, where athletes, officials and visitors from all over the world gather, it was decided that entry restrictions should be lifted as soon as possible. It is interpreted as a means to first implement Corona 19 quarantine measures aimed at the largest number of participants and verify the effectiveness and complementary points. The management plan for athletes and other competition officials is also being specified. Kyodo News reported that the Tokyo Olympics Organizing Committee is considering ways to quickly leave the athletes’ village after the race. In addition, the size of the restaurant in the athletes’ village with a capacity of 4,500 was also reduced and acrylic plates were being considered to prevent infection. The prerequisite for accepting more participants, such as athletes and officials, depends on how quickly many events can be run. Currently, three airports in Narita, Haneda and Kansai can test 10,000 people a day, but the Japanese government has announced that it will increase its testing capacity to 20,000 cases a day. The Japanese government will organize and officially announce COVID-19 prevention measures in preparation for this year’s Olympic Games. However, despite all the preparations, there is still concern that the Tokyo Olympics will remain in the middle of the tournament unless the global spread of Corona 19 abates.
