Tokyo: The Japanese government regulates the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics which is only held with the number of VIP spectators reduced, the Asahi newspaper reported on Tuesday, ahead of talks with the International Olympic Committee and other organizers this week.
Events in large places and night shows after 9pm will also be held without viewers, while the number of vips such as guests and sponsorship diplomats at the opening ceremony will decrease sharply from the initial estimate of around 10,000, this paper said, citing several unknown government sources.
It has been postponed by a year due to the Pandemic Coronavirus, the match is set to open on July 23 amid fears that the inclusion of tens of thousands of people from all over the world can release other waves of infection in this country.
Game organizers have banned the audience from abroad and set a hat on the domestic audience at 10,000 per venue for games, or 50% of capacity, despite the views of the medical experts that there are no spectators who will be the “least risky” option.
The Japanese government, however, seems to have decided on Thursday to expand quasi-emergency situation in Tokyo and three nearby prefectures outside the original end of July 11, a step that will require a return to the audience.
