Competitors will have daily COVID-19 tests at the Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo.

They will also need to wear face masks except when they are "eating, drinking, sleeping, training or competing".

And those traveling from outside Japan will be given a phone with apps for health reporting and contact tracing.

There will be no international fans but a decision on whether local fans can attend the Games will be made in June.

There is no requirement for athletes to be vaccinated but they will need to undergo a three-day quarantine on arrival.

An athlete who "intentionally refuses" to take a test could be sent home.

Japan is in a state of emergency until at least 11th May after a rise in coronavirus infections.

The Olympics are due to begin on 23rd July.
