TOKYO, July 2 (Reuters) - Organisers of the Tokyo Olympics are leaning towards banning spectators from night-time events and large-scale venues, Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper reported on Friday, amid persistent worries about the spread of COVID-19.
The Summer Games are scheduled to start on July 23, after a year’s delay due to the pandemic. But polls show a majority of Japanese oppose holding the event this year given warnings from health experts that it could unleash another wave of infections and spawn new, more potent variants.
Holding the Games without any spectators is a possibility and the government will decide on this next week, when it will also determine whether to lift a state of “quasi-emergency” in Tokyo and other parts of the country, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters on Thursday.
