Clapping will be encouraged as opposed to singing and chanting and the use of shared items like stationery is also discouraged
Singing or chanting will be discouraged at the re-arranged Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in a bid to safeguard against the spread of coronavirus.
Instead, those attending the Olympics - due to begin on 23 July - and Paralympics - set to start on 24 August - will be encouraged to clap in order to show support.
The suggestion is one of a number of rules detailed in a Playbook published by organisers.
