Tokyo Olympics ... Foreign fans banned for fear of the coronavirus outbreak

Foreign fans will not be able to attend the postponed Tokyo Olympics from last summer to next July, after the organizers of the Games imposed a ban on Saturday on their attendance to Japan for fear of an outbreak of the Corona virus.

"In order to clarify the picture for ticket holders living abroad and enable them to adjust their travel plans at this stage, the parties on the Japanese side have reached the conclusion that they will not be able to enter Japan in the Olympic and Paralympic period," the Games organizers said in a statement, adding that the two committees The Olympic and Paralympics "fully respect and accept this decision."
