The new crown pneumonia epidemic is currently spreading across Japan, which also puts pressure on epidemic prevention in various parts of Japan and the Tokyo Olympics. In response to the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee and other parties have also continued to carry out virus tests on Olympic-related personnel, and at the same time strengthened epidemic prevention measures.
31 new confirmed cases of Olympic-related personnel
The number of newly diagnosed new coronavirus infections in Japan on the 4th reached 14,207, a record high in a single day. According to Japanese experts, the infection rate of the highly contagious Delta strain in the Kanto region has reached 90%. It can be said that the current domestic epidemic in Japan is no longer limited to the metropolitan area with Tokyo as the center. The epidemic is relatively serious in Osaka and Kitakyushu.
With regard to the Olympics, epidemic prevention and control is also of great concern. The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee announced on the 5th that 31 new Olympic-related personnel tested positive for the new crown virus nucleic acid, including one athlete, a Greek synchronized swimmer. Up to now, 6 people from the Greek Olympic delegation have tested positive for nucleic acid.
Since July 1, the number of Olympic-related personnel who have tested positive for nucleic acid has reached 358. At present, nucleic acid testing in the Olympic Village is still carried out every day. In principle, athletes move inside and outside the Olympic Village by using closed vehicles. However, the most important effect of these anti-epidemic measures is that all Olympic delegations need to consciously abide by them.
Chinese athletes performed brilliantly in track and field
At present, our Chinese delegation is not only actively doing a good job in the prevention and control of the epidemic, but also very impressive on the field. This morning (5th), in the men’s triple jump finals of track and field, Chinese athlete Zhu Yaming set his personal best twice and won the silver medal with 17.57 meters, achieving a breakthrough for Chinese athletes in this event. In addition, in the men’s and women’s 4x100m relay in the Olympic track and field, the Chinese men’s and women’s relay teams both advanced to the finals. It can be said that in this Olympic Games, the performance of the Chinese team in the track and field are very dazzling. Next, I also look forward to more Chinese athletes to achieve good results.
