Regarding the treatment of spectators at the Tokyo Olympic Games venue, Governor Kumagai of Chiba Prefecture said at a press conference on the 10th, "Given the risk of widespread movement of people, it is quite courageous to include spectators. I think it will be. "
Among them, Governor Kumagai first stated that "it should be judged appropriately according to the infection situation, not with spectators and without spectators," and from an administrative standpoint, "with spectators." In that case, many people will come to the venue from all over the country. It will not be possible to request refraining from moving across prefectures other than watching the game, and the government will recognize what cannot be requested and make a judgment in balance. We need to go. "
And, as a recognition at the moment, "It is also a summer vacation period, and considering the risk of widespread movement of people, I think that it will be a very courageous decision as a requester to the citizens of the prefecture to include the audience." ..
When Governor Kumagai wrote his thoughts on the audience on his Facebook page, he was asked about the fact that he described the Olympics as "after all, a sporting event." Some people have put up with their visits and valuable experiences with their children. Compared to that, it's not everyone who can say that the Olympics are more sublime. I wanted to say that it's just a sporting event, but if you cut out that part, it's perceived as if I'm looking down on the sporting event, so that sentence should be expressed a little differently. I regret that it was. "
