To ensure the games will begin as scheduled, the authorities are stepping up their efforts to avert another possible COVID-19 breakout. The IOC has said over 80 percent of residents of the Olympic Village are set to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. There are also preparations to inoculate between 70 to 80 percent of journalists for optimum safety from the deadly Coronavirus infection.
