The organizer is looking at a solution with up to 10,000 spectators per arena, while health experts linked to the government have warned against admitting spectators at all.

Regardless of the decision on Monday, the organizer plans for 20,000 spectators at the inauguration on July 23.

The games kick off with football on July 21.

The Ugandan squad is the second to land in Tokyo.
