Japan extended on Friday (28 May)
a state of emergency in Tokyo and other areas to 20 June, and with the opening of the Games less than two months away, public confidence has been shaken by a fourth wave of coronavirus infections and a slow vaccination rollout.
Foreign spectators have already been banned and organisers are expected to make a decision next month on whether Japanese fans will be able to attend the Games, set to run between 23 July and 8 August, and under what conditions.
