FINA<\/strong>‘s leadership is debating a proposal to impose a three-month moratorium on all major events under its jurisdiction, including all Olympic test events in\u00a0open water, synchro,\u00a0diving \u00a0and water polo<\/strong>, for men and women as well as the bulk of the 2020 Diving World Series, the Synchro World Series and the Water Polo World League.<\/p>\n

Any decision is likely to include the organisers of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games<\/strong>, at a time when Japan is taking stringent measures to contain the spread of the virus. Today, a Japanese government panel of experts on communicable diseases gave warning that the\u00a0battle to contain the new coronavirus could take months or even last beyond the end of the year, throwing deepening doubt on whether the Olympic Games can go ahead as planned or at all.<\/p>\n

On a day when the Italian Swimming Federation (FIN) announced the cancellation of its Olympic swimming trials<\/strong><\/a> and championships in all aquatics disciplines in March and April, as part of the tightest Government containment measures since the Second World War, FINA leaders are said to be debating whether to draw a line and effectively shut down all Olympic test events in aquatic sports.<\/p>\n

Our main image shows a\u00a0BBC graphic of the outbreak statistics globally<\/a>\u00a0that is updated regularly and charts\u00a0World Health Organisation<\/a>\u00a0(WHO)<\/strong>\u00a0figures. WHO said today that the threat of a pandemic was “very real” given the rapid spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the helm of the international federation have told Swimming World<\/em> that a proposal to impose a moratorium by a member of the FINA executive met with opposition. There was also concern that such a decision would need to be agreed with the Tokyo 2020 hosts and the International Olympic Committee (IOC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While there was basic agreement that it may soon be necessary to place the FINA calendar on hold, the complexities and impacts of doing so, on athletes, plans and finances needed they matter to be given more thought, \u00a0the source suggested.<\/p>\n

    Communicable Disease Experts Hint At Months-Long Battle Ahead On Coronavirus<\/h3>\n

    \"tokyo2020-logo\"The battle to contain the new coronavirus could take months or even last beyond year-end, a Japanese government panel of experts on communicable diseases warned Monday.<\/p>\n

    “It may take several months to half a year, or even last beyond year-end” as the virus may survive warmer weather, unlike influenza, Kazuhiro Tateda, a member of the panel and president of the Japanese Association of Infectious Diseases, told a press conference after their meeting.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The panel denied that the COVID-19-causing virus was ‘exploding’ in Japan but also noted that it was still too early to relax vigilance.<\/p>\n

    A decision whether to proceed with the Olympic Games as planned, postpone or cancel is expected to be made in May.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Japan today implemented tougher border control measures on travellers from China and South Korea, effectively banning tourists from the two countries until the end of March.<\/p>\n

    Nearly 3 million visas already issued to Chinese and South Korean nationals, also including residents of Hong Kong and Macau, were invalidated for those yet to travel.\u00a0All arrivals among those already travelling from the two countries, including Japanese and other foreign nationals, will be asked to undergo a 14-day quarantine, albeit on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n

    China accepted Japan’s new restrictions as “appropriate to safeguard public health” and in the same spirit temporarily suspended its 15-day visa waiver program for Japanese tourists from tomorrow.<\/p>\n

    Under Japan’s voluntary scheme, Japanese citizens and visitors from China and South Korea will be asked to confine themselves to designated facilities, such as hotels, at their own expense – or, if they live in Japan, in their homes – for a 14-day quarantine period. They will also be asked to use private transport to get to their quarantine destination, and not use public transport.<\/p>\n
