International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has told Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko that Tokyo Games participants will pose no risk of coronavirus infection for others.
Koike and Bach met at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building on Thursday afternoon.
Bach said the Games will be "the most restrictive sports event ever in the world." He added that the Olympic community wants to avoid any kind of risk for people of Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan.
He stressed that the strict rules in the Tokyo 2020 playbooks to prevent infections are working and being enforced.
He said all athletes and other members of delegations are tested upon arrival in Japan.
Bach added that those found positive have been immediately isolated and their close contacts are under relevant quarantine protocols, so "the risk for the other residents of the Olympic village and risk for the Japanese people is zero."
Koike said that with eight days to go before the Olympics, Tokyo is "fighting various numbers" in taking measures against the coronavirus.
She pledged to ensure that thorough, effective anti-virus measures are taken to protect the health and lives of those who travel all the way to Tokyo from abroad, as well as people of Tokyo and Japan.
Koike also said Tokyo will set up an environment where athletes can perform at their best.
She said she believes in the power of sports, and that the Tokyo Games will be exciting for people all over the world.

More than 450,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics to protect people's lives.
The petition was launched in May by lawyer Utsunomiya Kenji, a former head of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations.
Utsunomiya held a news conference in Tokyo on Thursday after submitting the signatures to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko is one of the people the petition is addressed to.
Utsunomiya said now is the time for a brave decision to be made to cancel the Tokyo Games.
He said the Tokyo Games were originally supposed to showcase Japan's recovery from the 2011 disasters and global victory over the coronavirus. But he says he thinks this intention no longer makes sense.
He said the organizers are trying to go ahead with the event without clarifying the meaning of holding the Games now.
Utsunomiya asked whether it is appropriate to host the Games when Tokyo is under a coronavirus state of emergency. He said if the infection situation worsens during the Games, medical institutions could be overwhelmed and be unable to save lives that could have been saved.
A separate online petition to support holding the Tokyo Games by taking adequate anti-infection measures has drawn more than 100,000 signatures.

The world's biggest contract chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, or TSMC, says it is considering a plan to set up a production plant in Japan.
Chief Executive Officer C.C. Wei said at an online news conference on Thursday that the company is "in the due diligence process" of the plan. The effort could see TSMC form business partnerships with Japanese companies.
TSMC reached an agreement with several Japanese firms earlier this year to launch a research and development facility for state-of-the-art chips in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, northeast of Tokyo.
At the same news conference on Thursday, TSMC also announced that its sales for the three months through June had climbed to a quarterly record of roughly 13.3 billion US dollars. It marks a 19.8 percent increase from the same period last year.
The rise was largely driven by strong demand for chips intended for automobiles and other products amid the ongoing global shortage.
Wei warned that the strain on global chip production would continue into next year.

Tokyo police have arrested 10 Japanese on suspicion of running a phone scam targeting people in the country. The suspects are members of an alleged fraud group based in the Philippines and had been detained there for 20 months due to coronavirus pandemic.
The 10 suspects, including 27-year-old Omata Kenta, were arrested on Thursday after arriving at Narita Airport, just outside Tokyo.
They were taken to a police station by car after being tested for the coronavirus.
Tokyo police say the suspects are thought to have made a scam phone call from the Philippines to a woman in her 60s in Tokyo in 2019, pretending to be a police officer. The group then allegedly stole five cash cards by sending another member in Japan to her home.
In November 2019, Philippine authorities raided a building in the capital Manila, where the group had allegedly been running the phone scam, and took 36 Japanese into an immigration detention facility.
Eighteen of them were transported to Japan in February last year, many of whom have already been convicted. Authorities plan to send the remaining eight members to Japan for further investigation.
Investigative sources say the members of the group worked on two floors of the building where they were based, and competed with one another to see who could defraud the most.
The sources say the members stole victims' cash cards by telling them over the phone that their names were on a list held by arrested fraud suspects. The group would then send to their homes other members in Japan posing as finance ministry officials.
Investigators believe the members not only received part of the money they swindled as a reward, but also got prize money and vouchers for accommodation at resorts based on their "achievements."
Tokyo police say that in 2019, authorities nationwide identified more than 2,000 phone scam cases involving people posing as police officers or finance ministry officials. They say that the amount scammed has reached more than 30 million dollars.
