YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJapan is preparing to hold next month’s Olympics with some spectators present, even as experts warn it would be difficult to stage the games unless the pace of infections falls in the capital, according to media reports.
Organizers are preparing to let domestic fans attend the games and spectators would be required to provide a negative virus test or a vaccination certificate, TV Asahi said Tuesday. Fans from overseas are not allowed to see the events in person.
Preparations for the Olympics are stepping up despite continued opposition from a public concerned that what was intended to be a celebration of the world’s victory over the virus could instead become a superspreader event. A slow start to the country’s vaccination program means only about 12 million doses have been administered to Japan’s 126 million people, leaving the bulk of the population at risk.
