Japan Extending State of Emergency Likely to Keep Olympics Without Spectators

Japan Extending State of Emergency Likely to Keep Olympics Without Spectators On 5/28/21 at 9:13 AM EDT Japan decided Friday to extend the COVID-19 state of emergency in Tokyo and other areas for 20 more days. Olympics organizers will decide by June 20 whether to allow local fans at the games. Overseas spectators were already banned a month ago. We would like to make a decision as soon as possible [on fans], but after the state of emergency is lifted we will assess, Tokyo Olympics Organizing Committee President Seiko Hashimoto said at a weekly briefing. With the games set to open July 23, COVID-19 cases remain high, and medical systems in several cities remain overwhelmed. Japan has a plan to prioritize vaccines for athletes, but only 2.3 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated. Hashimoto said organizers need to take into account the possible strain on local medical services before deciding to allow spectators.
