A country that has just declared a state of emergency? EXPLANATION FROM THE AUTHORITIES I think it is a somewhat prudent measure, not allowing spectators, as I commented in previous paragraphs, at least it will greatly help to avoid further infections, it reduces the risk for the local population, as well as for the athletes and delegations, although the showiness, the spectacle implicit in each discipline and the subsequent awards ceremony are sacrificed. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, stated: "We have demonstrated this responsibility since the day of the postponement.
We will support whatever measures are necessary to have a safe Olympic and Paralympic Games for the Japanese people and all participants." Thomas Bach, President of the IOC. / Twitter For her part, Seiko Hashimoto, president Japan Phone Number List of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee, also regretted that this measure had to be resorted to: "It is extremely sad that the Games are being carried out in a very limited way due to the spread of coronavirus infections. "I am very sorry to the ticket holders and local residents who were looking forward to the Games." Seiko Hashimoto, president of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee.
Twitter HOPE IN SOME PREFECTURES Not everything is negative and perhaps there will be some competitions that could have an audience, either because the sports venues are located in regions less affected by the coronavirus and because some will be in open spaces. In these cases, the 50% capacity limit would apply with a maximum of 10,000 people. The tests that take place in the prefectures of Enoshima (sailing), Sapporo (football, marathon and walking), Fukushima (baseball), Miyagi (football), and Ibaraki (soccer) would be exempt, for the moment.
