It has been decided that a meeting will be held from 8:00 pm by five parties, including the Games Organizing Committee, the government, and the IOC = International Olympic Committee, which will 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 all said last month if priority measures such as spread prevention were lifted based on government standards. At the venue, we decided to limit the maximum number of people to 10,000 within 50% of the capacity.
However, following the government's decision to issue a fourth state of emergency to Tokyo from the 12th of this month, a meeting will be held from 8 pm on the 8th to discuss the treatment of spectators at the Tokyo Olympics again. Has been decided.
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, in line with these standards, in addition to the plan to limit the number of spectators of the Tokyo Olympics to 5,000, it is expected that 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. ..
In addition, the focus will be 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 declarations or priority measures have been issued.
As the opening of the Tokyo Olympics approaches two weeks later, it will be an unusual situation where the treatment of spectators, which can be said to be the basis of the Games, will change.
