The Tokyo Olympics, which are scheduled to begin on the 23rd, will be held without spectators, according to foreign media reports.
This is in view of the current Covid risk situation in Japan. In the past 24 hours, 920 cases of Covid infection have been reported in Tokyo, the first increase in Tokyo’s cases since May.
Accordingly, Tokyo was initially declared a city of partial emergency, but has now been declared a state of emergency. Meanwhile, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics will be open only to the chief guests.
