Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee Chief Toshiro Muto says athletes who will be participating in this year's Olympic Games will be subject to GPS monitoring.

BBC reports that international members of the media will also be subject to monitoring.

Muto says it had not yet been decided if alcohol will be allowed in the athletes' village.

Tokyo remains under a state of emergency amid a surge in COVID-19 cases, with the start of the Olympics just over six weeks away.

The Olympics are set to run from the 23rd of July to the 8th of August, with the Paralympics following from the 24th of August to the 5th of September.
