Chiba Prefecture has shown to the relevant cities and towns a plan to stop the implementation of the Tokyo Olympic torch relay scheduled in July, saying that it is difficult to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection. I found that I was making adjustments.
The Tokyo Olympic torch relay in Chiba Prefecture will be held for three days from July 1st to 3rd on a route that runs through 21 cities and towns, and ceremonies will be held in various places to celebrate the arrival of the torch. I will.
On May 24, the first report to the Games Organizing Committee was requested as to whether it would be implemented as planned, but Chiba Prefecture said, "We cannot predict the infection status of the new coronavirus and cannot judge at this time." The report was pending.
However, according to the people concerned, the prefecture canceled the relay on public roads because it was difficult to prevent the spread of the infection, and showed the plan for runners to come to the venue and hold the ceremony to the related cities and towns, and proceeded with the adjustment. I found out that.
The final deadline for reporting to the Games Organizing Committee on the implementation method is June 17, two weeks before the torch relay, but the prefecture will make a careful decision while assessing the future infection situation and announce the policy soon. I'm going to do it.
