NAIROBI, Kenya -- A Japanese city due to host Kenya's team for a pre-Olympics training camp has canceled because the coronavirus situation there is "critical," the Kenyan Olympic committee said Wednesday.
City officials from Kurume in the Fukuoka Prefecture near the southern tip of Japan had informed Kenya on Tuesday that they were canceling, the committee said.
The Kenyan Olympic committee said the letter from Kurume reported that "COVID-19 infections have rapidly spread in Kurume since mid-April and the situation has been recognized as critical."
The letter from Kurume also stated, according to Kenyan Olympic officials, that "the nationwide spread of infection (in Japan) did not subside even in May, and in Fukuoka Prefecture the number of new infections and the number of hospitalized patients both have reached a record high."
