Athletes can expect daily coronavirus tests at this summer’s Olympic and Paralympic Games while a decision on capacity at venues will be taken in June, Tokyo 2020 organisers have said.

The Japanese capital has re-entered a state of emergency until at least May 11 owing to a rise in coronavirus infections, and on Wednesday updated guidance to athletes and other Games participants – called playbooks – was published.
