Christopher Dolby, Executive Director of the Olympics Department of the International Olympic Committee, said at a press conference held on June 9 that a 14-day movement restriction will be imposed on those who travel to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Olympics. Athletes, officials, and media reporters need to fill out an activity plan for their first 14 days in Japan, listing all the places they plan to go, and they can only visit these places. All personnel will also take their body temperature every day during the 14-day period and must download a contact tracking application. Dolby emphasized that there will be no exceptions to this policy and everyone must abide by it.

It was previously reported that athletes in countries or regions with severe epidemics or mutated viruses, such as the United Kingdom, India, and Malaysia, may be banned from participating in the Tokyo Olympics. Dolby said that neither the International Olympic Committee nor the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee has such a plan. Dolby said that these delegations have promised to adopt more stringent testing, and they are also willing to take other measures, including 100% vaccination of delegation members, to ensure that they can enter Japan.
