The Olympic organizers are no exception.

They are also waiting for a vaccine against the coronavirus.

It will be needed for the Olympics in Tokyo next summer to be fairly normal.

- To protect the Japanese people, the IOC must take major measures to ensure that as many of those who come here have a vaccine, Bach says after the meeting in Japan.

The Olympics are scheduled to begin on July 23.

In Japan, baseball matches have recently been played with up to 30,000 in the audience.

Compared to many other countries, Japan has not been hit so hard by the coronavirus.

- We are determined to hold the Tokyo Olympics next summer to prove that humanity has overcome the virus, says Minister Suga.
