There may be no spectators at the Tokyo Olympics. Players will undergo nucleic acid tests every day

　　Chinanews Client, April 29. According to Kyodo News, the Japanese government held a meeting on the 28th local time to confirm that it will conduct nucleic acid tests on Tokyo Olympic contestants on a daily basis, and there is no possibility of holding on-site audiences. Is gradually increasing.

　　According to the report, in view of the current situation of the epidemic in Japan, the previously set minimum testing frequency of 4 days has been changed to once a day in principle. This is to strengthen epidemic prevention measures.

　　In the five-party consultation attended by representatives of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the participants reached an agreement on the determination of the maximum number of domestic audiences in Japan in June.

　　The chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee Hashimoto Seiko said that if medical care is expected to be hindered, “then the time when safety and security are the top priority and the empty venue (holding) must be determined will probably come.”

　　With regard to the domestic audience limit in Japan, options are becoming more and more limited.

Relevant sources said that in addition to the unprecedented empty venue, the plan being explored also includes a 50% occupancy rate, or allowing ticket purchasers sold in the country so far to enter the venue.

　　If the venue is held empty, there will be many transactional tasks such as ticket refund procedures.

A relevant person from the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee said: "If the venue is to be held empty, it is better to see the situation as soon as possible and make a decision."

　　However, reports say that if the empty field is judged too early, the argument for canceling the Olympics may also spread.

As the epidemic situation at the time of the official event was unpredictable, relevant government officials stated that “if you decide to empty the venue, it can be done soon (to be finalized before the opening).” The International Olympic Committee also asked for a cautious attitude.

　　Regarding the plan to set the upper limit to 5,000 or 10,000, due to the need to re-select the ticket holders, confusion may occur, and some people think that this approach is unrealistic.
