China News Service, March 25. According to Kyodo News, the Tokyo Olympic torch relay will be launched from Fukushima Prefecture on the morning of the 25th.
The key to mastering the long journey until the opening of the Olympic Games in July is the new crown epidemic prevention countermeasures.
The Olympic Organizing Committee not only requires people not to go outside the prefectures and prefectures where they live, but also recommends watching the live broadcast to avoid crowds along the road.
A major event that is rare in the form of striving to balance epidemic prevention and mobilization is about to open.

According to reports, the torch relay will start on the morning of the 25th local time. The Japanese women's national team who won the World Cup will serve as the first torchbearer and will start from the football facility "J-Village" (Naraha and Hirono).
The departure ceremony attended by the comedian group "Sandwich Man" and actor Rimi Ishihara will be simplified and ordinary audiences will not be accepted.
On June 1, 2019 local time, the Tokyo Olympics torchbearer costume style was announced. Japanese actor Rimi Ishihara, who is the official relay ambassador, tried on and displayed the torchbearer's uniform on the spot.
If there are many spectators along the road, they are very dense, or the crowds are crowded, and there is not enough space between them, the open road publicity vehicles and staff urge the spectators to move.
If repeated reminders and warnings fail to lift the intensive situation, discuss the cancellation of the torch relay on the road section or municipality.
In addition, in prefectures and prefectures that have issued emergency declarations and demanded avoidance of going out, some will give up passing on public roads and only hold the torch lighting ceremony.
The Olympic Organizing Committee has announced that until the torch relay in Kagoshima Prefecture on April 27 and 28, it will be implemented on public roads as planned.
When watching along the road, it is recommended that people wear masks, do not make a loud noise, and cheer for the torchbearers by clapping.
It is also required that if you are confirmed to be infected with the new crown virus within 2 weeks after participating, you should contact the Olympic Organizing Committee.
As the torchbearers of celebrities such as show business figures and former athletes may cause a large crowd of spectators, they will run in parks and schools that can control the access of people.
Each running section will be announced 30 minutes before the start.
In addition to local governments will hold celebrations, there are also trends in the use of advance appointments or limited number of people, and the cancellation of some projects.
