This will allow fans to avoid being quarantined for two weeks, which is currently a condition of entry into Japan. Detailed requirements for the application will be approved by the International Olympic Committee.

However, the Japanese authorities do not plan to make pre-vaccination a prerequisite for travel. In addition, tourists will not be limited in using public transport and visiting catering establishments.

While in Japan, foreigners will also be advised to install an app that is currently being used to track contacts with COVID-19 cases. So, when the Bluetooth transmitter is turned on, the user's smartphone will fix other users in the internal memory of the device if they have been at a distance of less than 1 meter for 15 minutes or more. In case of detection of a coronavirus or any symptoms of infection, a person will have to enter this information into the application on their own, and those who were in contact with him will receive a corresponding notification.

Fans will also need to scan QR codes at hotels and restaurants to keep their browsing history and update the app on a regular basis with information about their health and temperature.
