TOKYO: Organisers of the Tokyo Olympics said on Wednesday athletes and officials should not use public transport without permission, and asked them to wear a face mask at "all times" during the event except eating or sleeping.

The organizers unveiled a "playbook" detailing COVID-19 measures that will be taken during the Summer Games this year.

They also asked fans not to sing or chant to support athletes, according to their playbook.
