In recent days, a number of covid cases have been observed in the Olympic village.
Olympic director Toshiro Muto participated in a press conference recently and was then asked if the Olympics can be canceled in the eleventh hour.
- We can not predict what will happen to the number of coronavirus cases.
So we continue the discussions and look at what to do if the situation worsens, he said according to Sky Sports.
- We have agreed that, based on the coronavirus situation, we will call for five-party talks again.
At this point, coronavirus cases may rise or fall.
The Tokyo Olympics were supposed to take place last year, but were postponed for a year due to the pandemic.
The number of infections among the Japanese has increased recently and therefore it was recently decided that the Olympics will be held without an audience.
It had previously been decided that no visiting spectators would be allowed.
The chairman of the organizing committee, Seiko Hashimoto, says that they are aware of the reduced support.
She says that the rigorous safety regulations, in order to avoid the spread of infection, have not given the Japanese public an increased belief that the infection will not reach them.
The Olympics will be inaugurated on July 23.
