Tokyo Olympics organizers and the International Olympic Committee are set to unveil new plans this week for safely holding the Games this summer amid the pandemic.

This comes as several areas of Japan are having a surge in cases, and the country has had a slow vaccine rollout.

Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported on some of the plans, including that there will be daily coronavirus testing for athletes, but a 14-day quarantine requirement for the athletes after they arrive will be dropped. They will be required to stay in a “bubble” of the Olympic Village, and venues and training areas.
