Bach gave few details, speaking remotely at the opening of three days of meetings between the International Olympic Committee and local organizers. He said the help would come from various national Olympic committees and be available in the Olympic village and sports venues. “For obvious reasons we cannot give them (athletes) every detail yet, but the most important principle is very clear: the Olympic Village is a safe place and the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be organized in a safe way," Bach said. Bach said he anticipated more than 80 percent of those staying in the Olympic Village would be vaccinated. Bach appeared to be responding to one of the strongest demands so far to call off the postponed Olympics.
