Olympic swimmer Michael Andrew is making waves, after saying he won't get a COVID-19 vaccine before heading to compete in Tokyo.

Resistance may have fallen when citizens found out that the stands wouldn't be packed with people. After the government of Japan declared a state of emergency on July 8, meant to reduce the number of incoming people, the IOC and other organizing groups prohibited spectators in the Tokyo venues .

In the latest playbook, the IOC issues a number of guidelines. Among the highlights for athletes and officials:Athletes are tested before departing for the Games, on arrival at the airport, and daily at the Games. They are also tested if any symptoms develop. If positive, they are isolated.Close contacts of infected people will also be tested. Contact tracing is by smartphone app.Masks are to be worn at all times except when eating, drinking, training, competing, or sleeping.

The latest version of the playbook does include recommendations for the workforce, such as staff, volunteers, and contractors. Many of the same recommendations are made for them as for athletes.
