While the host city, Tokyo, is proceeding with efforts to enliven the tournament, such as setting up monuments at tourist attractions in Tokyo and decorating stations and shopping streets, the number of mutant viruses has increased rapidly in Tokyo, making it the third time. An emergency declaration is expected.
The statue of the tournament mascot, which was unveiled at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building on the 14th of this month, has been canceled from being open to the public amid a strong call for refraining from going out unnecessarily.
In addition, the torch relay, which plays a role in enlivening the Games, has changed its plan to run on public roads in Osaka Prefecture and Matsuyama City due to the spread of infection.
The relay in Tokyo is scheduled to start in July, but the city is considering what to do if the infection situation worsens.
The Tokyo Olympics are three months away from the opening.
Amid concerns about the rapid spread of infection, the issue is how to proceed with efforts to foster momentum for the Games.
