Original title: Due to insufficient testing kits, some athletes in the Tokyo Olympic Village failed to undergo new coronavirus testing as scheduled

According to a report from the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the 23rd, in accordance with the Tokyo Olympics Epidemic Prevention Manual, athletes need to be tested for the new coronavirus nucleic acid every day. However, due to the lack of test kits, Japanese male gymnasts and overseas athletes who stayed in the Olympic Village on the 19th of this month failed to conduct tests as scheduled.

The relevant person in charge of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee admitted in an interview with NHK that at the beginning of this week, several Olympic committees reported that they had not received the test kits and that the tests were not carried out on certain dates. However, the person in charge also emphasized that the practice of staggering the inspection time, such as two inspections on the next day, ensured fairness among countries and regions, and conducted inspections in accordance with the frequency specified in the epidemic prevention manual.

The person in charge stated that the test kits will arrive in large quantities on the 24th, and the necessary number of kits will be distributed to delegations from all countries and regions. (Headquarters reporter Zhou Li)
