The Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games has revealed that the number of tickets valid at this time is 42% of the capacity of all competition venues.
On the 11th, the third meeting was held by experts considering the new corona countermeasures for the Tokyo Games, and the simulation of the flow of people when the audience was included and the countermeasure proposals were discussed.
At a subsequent press conference, the Organizing Committee revealed that currently valid spectator tickets account for 42% of the capacity of all competition venues.
This includes school collaboration that sells to children through local governments, and some competition venues exceed 50%.
In addition, the largest number of spectators in a day is Tokyo on July 31, with about 225,000 people.
Nobuhiko Okabe, director of the Kawasaki City Institute of Health and Safety, who chaired the event, said, "Unfortunately, there can be no zero infected people, so it is important to reduce it as much as possible. I suggested that you change your mind and enjoy watching the game remotely. For example, when we say stay home in stage 4, people who have tickets are not free to watch the game. "
Hidemasa Nakamura, chief of the Organizing Committee's Main Operations Center, said, "We will announce a policy on the maximum number of spectators in June, but we cannot predict what will happen after that. Of course, we cannot hold a safe and secure tournament unless we assume various cases." He talked and expressed his intention to flexibly respond to the number of spectators according to the infection situation.
