As of now, they are confident that they will be able to pull of the games successfully. The first COVID-19 playbook has already been published by the IOC, Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee (Tokyo 2020) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/stillmedab.olympic.org\/media\/Document%20Library\/OlympicOrg\/Games\/Summer-Games\/Games-Tokyo-2020-Olympic-Games\/Playbooks\/The-Playbook-International-Federations.pdf#_ga=2.206480533.786486519.1612521275-185012347.1611311583\">first playbook has a series of guidelines<\/a> that inform all participants and stakeholders involved in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics of what will be required from them.

The playbook advises all athletes to get vaccinated in their country, if they have the opportunity to do so and then show up for the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Participants have also been cautioned to <strong>avoid public transport and use only transport provided by the Olympic Games<\/strong>. <strong>All social interaction is discouraged<\/strong> and stakeholders have been informed that the <strong>best way for appreciating athletes is to clap<\/strong>. <strong>Screaming and shouting in celebration is to be avoided<\/strong> as it might spread disease. <\/p>\n<p>There is no information provided as of now as to what will be the penalties for those athletes who violate the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place.
