The Summer Olympic Games is scheduled to commence in four days and even though organisers have put several measures in place to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus at the event, already two athletes have tested positive inside the athletes’ village in Tokyo, Japan.Well known physician Dr. Adrian Lorde told Barbados TODAY the protocols and lengths to which the organisers have gone to ensure the safety of all involved including the athletes, are the best the Japanese can do.“I think it is the best they can do if we are going to go ahead with the Olympics, then they have to go ahead with those measures in place. The athletes are to come in, participate and leave, which does not allow for proper acclimatisation and the recuperation from jet lag and so on.
The president also stressed the importance of keeping the economy open after months of stifling movement restrictions.

HUNDREDS of Zimbabweans are stranded at the country’s borders with South Africa and Botswana due to lack of credible COVID-19 test certificates and various documents. The stranded people include two footballers on their way to join a Palapye-based soccer outfit, informal traders and others returning home after almost nine months living outside the country following closure of the borders as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Triangle United Football Club player, Agrippa Murimba, and Harare City Football Club’s Raymond Uchena, who are planning to join Morupule Wanderers, told VOA Zimbabwe Service that they had been stuck at Botswana’s Ramokgwebana border post for almost two days. Immigration officials are questioning the validity of their COVID-19 test certificates. Others stuck at the same place are Gertrude Maravanzira, who is on her way to visit her husband in Botswana, Walter Mukanga and several others. Immigration officials declined to comment, referring all questions to the country’s Health minister Edwin Dikoloti, who stressed that they would not allow any person to visit Botswana without proper COVID-19 test certificates. According to Denis Juru, president of the International Cross Border Traders Association of Zimbabwe, hundreds of people have been turned away at Zimbabwe’s ports of entry with authorities citing lack of authentic COVID-19 tests, improper travel documents and other issues. Juru said on Tuesday alone, about 622 of the 6 338 Zimbabweans intending to cross the Beitbridge Border Post were turned away due to lack of proper documentation, including COVID-19 test certificates. At least 230 people faced the same problem at Plumtree Border Post where 2 148 locals wanted to return home or visit Botswana. At Forbes Border Post 531 people failed to produce proper documentation while 314 Zimbabweans were also stranded at Chirundu Border Post. There were 38 and 41 such cases at Nyamapanda and Victoria Falls border posts, respectively. Juru told VOA Zimbabwe Service’s Livetalk show that “some of the people were just coming (home) without COVID-19 test certificates or a certificate that had expired. A COVID-19 test certificate is only valid for 72 hours, which is three days. So, we advise all travellers to have proper documentation. What they need is very simple as they only need to add a COVID-19 test certificate to the documentation they normally carry when crossing borders. Immigration officials in Harare declined to comment — VOA
