As the portal insidethegames.biz “the Cabinet of Ministers is determined to protect the people and continues with all possible energy to prevent the spread of infections”.
All this is happening against the backdrop of the fact that even the staunchest supporter of the Games, the mayor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike, called “explosion” of infectious disease in the Japanese capital. On the first day of the New year test for coronavirus 783 people have been positive, and all around the country became 3228 infected more. The fear only intensified with the emergence in the UK of an even more formidable strain of the virus to Japan and entered it.
In this regard, the country has imposed strict restrictive measures on entry into it, and the previously announced benefits for athletes temporarily canceled.
Authorities in Tokyo, according to broadcaster NHK, may apply to the government with the proposal to introduce a state of emergency, which will help to limit the spread of the virus. It remains to be seen how it would react to the government.
will the Olympics be held in such conditions? While the organizers of the summer Games and the IOC claim that the Olympics will open on 23 July, exactly on schedule, and on August 24, will come the turn of the Paralympics.
