Talks have begun by five parties, including the Games Organizing Committee, the government, and the IOC = International Olympic Committee, which decide how to treat the spectators of the Tokyo Olympics.
At the meeting, in response to the decision to issue a state of emergency in Tokyo, discussions will be held including making the venues in Tokyo unattended, and the treatment of spectators at surrounding venues will also be the focus.
About the Tokyo Olympics Audience The Organizing Committee, the government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the IOC, and the IPC = International Paralympic Committee have a capacity of 50 at all venues if priority measures such as spread prevention are lifted last month. In principle, we have decided to limit the number of people to 10,000 within the percentage.
However, following the government's decision to issue a fourth state of emergency to Tokyo from the 12th of this month, a meeting between the five parties to discuss the treatment of the Tokyo Olympic spectators again began after 8 pm.
The government's event limit in the area where the declaration is issued is limited to 50% of the venue's capacity or less than 5,000 people, and the time is, in principle, 9 pm.
At the meeting, the audience of the Tokyo Olympics will be discussed in accordance with these standards, and a plan to make the venue in Tokyo unattended from the viewpoint of further controlling the flow of people and preventing infection is expected to be discussed.
Furthermore, the focus is on the treatment of spectators at venues in the three prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba, where priority measures such as prevention of spread have been extended, and venues in areas where no declaration or priority measures have been issued. It is expected that consideration will be given to the intentions.
