On April 13, local time, the torch of the Tokyo Olympics was passed in Osaka Prefecture in Osaka, Japan.

  According to reports, on the 28th, Taro Aso, Minister of Finance of Japan, stated at a meeting of customs commissioners held within the Ministry of Finance that the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games "have become extremely likely to be held."

  In addition, due to the increase in the number of immigrants such as athletes' delegations, Aso called for strengthening counter-terrorism measures at border ports.

He pointed out: "The shelf life of the vaccine is limited. I hope everyone will respond carefully."

  On the same day, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga held a meeting of the Headquarters for the Prevention of New Coronavirus Infection at his official residence, and decided to extend the deadline from the 31st to June 20 regarding the emergency declarations issued to 9 prefectures including Tokyo and Osaka.

Yoshihide Suga took professional baseball and football J-League as examples, and clearly stated that "it can be dealt with based on the number of attendees, etc.".

  As a countermeasure against the epidemic, he cited measures to reduce the number of people visiting Japan, vaccinate and implement testing, restrict movement, and avoid contact with ordinary people for Olympic-related people from overseas.

The number of visitors to Japan is currently reduced to approximately 59,000 for the Olympic Games and approximately 19,000 for the Paralympic Games. Yoshihide Suga said that it will be further reduced.

And after the inspection, a related meeting was held.

  The experts at the conference put forward the following suggestions: sufficient space should be provided to ensure the separation of traffic lines to avoid the spread of the virus when infected persons occur; countermeasures should be taken to reduce the waiting time of the Olympic Village Polyclinic; and efforts should be made to avoid crowded dining in the cafeteria. .

The meeting also discussed how to reduce the flow of people when setting up public viewing venues and holding public viewing activities.

  Affected by the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games originally scheduled for 2020 will be postponed to July 23 to August 8, 2021, and the Paralympic Games will be postponed to August 24 to September 5, 2021.
