Several methods have already begun to be discussed to prevent the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics scheduled for July.

The IOC of the International Olympic Committee is reported to be reviewing vaccinations for all athletes, and there are opinions within the Japanese government to hold the Olympics without spectators, that is, without spectators.

Yamashita, chairman of the Japan Olympic Committee, who attended a video conference of the International Olympic Committee's IOC convened last night (22nd), said the IOC plans to announce specific anti-corona measures for the Tokyo Olympics next month.



The British Telegraph said the key to this measure was to vaccinate all Olympic athletes with the corona vaccine.



IOC Chairman Bach also announced a video message and stepped forward to suture the cancellation.



[Bach/Chairman of the International Olympic Committee: Holding the Olympics in a safe and secure manner is our top priority.

There is nothing we can't do for this.]



However, even within Japan, opinions about the cancellation of the Olympics continue to emerge.



In particular, there is a great concern from medical staff who have to respond to the infection of more than 10,000 athletes entering the country when the Olympics are held.



[Nakagawa/President of the Japanese Medical Association: It is a huge number with the athletes alone.

If you ask me if I can receive these in medical reality now, I think it's impossible.]



For this reason, there have also been reports that an unattended plan is rapidly rising within the government in order to minimize the risk of spreading infection and avoid the worst case of cancellation.



Even if the Japanese government decides to endure economic losses of more than 25 trillion won and hold an unattended audience, as in last year, there is a possibility that leading overseas athletes will declare absence from the Olympics because of concerns about infection.
