The once-delayed Games are due to start on July 23 despite concern that the influx of thousands of people from around the world would contribute to the spread of Covid-19. Athletes will be shuttled in and out of the village and be tested for the coronavirus every day. Olympic rules ban singing and chanting during events, with masks required at almost all times. The shopping area of the village features an automatic teller machine, dry cleaner, post office, bank and courier counter. The wooden plaza, which draws on Japanese minimalist design aesthetics, follows the Tokyo 2020 theme of using timber in the construction of Olympics venues, including the National Stadium.
