The Games Organizing Committee will announce on the 6th of this month that the Tokyo Olympics spectator limit may be revised by government standards based on the status of infection with the new coronavirus. We learned from interviews with the people involved in the Games that we are considering postponing the re-lottery.
Regarding the spectators of the Tokyo Olympics, the Organizing Committee, the government, and the IOC = International Olympic Committee, etc., are based on government standards, and in principle, the maximum number of spectators is 10,000 within 50% of the capacity at all venues. I have decided.
For this reason, the Organizing Committee will re-lottery tickets for watching games for the general public for some dates of seven sports such as opening and closing ceremonies that exceed the upper limit, land, soccer, etc., and the results will be announced before dawn on the 6th of this month. I decided to do it.
However, the Organizing Committee is considering postponing the re-lottery of tickets because the upper limit of the Olympic spectators may be revised depending on the government's event restriction standards according to the infection situation of the new corona. However, I found out by interviewing the people involved in the Games.
The government's standard for extension of priority measures such as prevention of spread, which has been issued to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, is within 50% of the capacity and the upper limit is 5,000, as well as from the governors of Chiba and Saitama prefectures. Is also requested to hold a non-spectator competition held after 9 pm.
The Organizing Committee wants to hold another five-party meeting in line with government standards to determine the treatment of the audience.
