New Delhi: As players are arriving for Tokyo Olympics 2020, and the organisers are not ready to take risks at the time due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
This year the athletes will be discouraged from engaging in any unnecessary social mixing or close interaction, including sexual intercourse.
According to reports, the beds are reportedly made from cardboard and they are designed to only be able to withstand the weight of one person.

Meanwhile, the athletes were also warned to not use the free condoms that would be given to them as per Olympic tradition. Instead, they were told to bring them back home as souvenirs to raise awareness for HIV.
In a statement, the Tokyo Games said, “Our perspective is that we have to make it absolutely a safe Games because they will come to Japan to compete, and we want to make sure the process is not too impactful for them performing.”
