Olympics 2020: the Japanese government would not like to welcome foreign fans

The daily also reported that the government is currently examining the possibility for Japanese fans to come to the competitions in full stadiums or with limited capacity.

The Games had postponed for one reason for the coronavirus pandemic. Polls have shown that a major part of the Japanese population is in favor of a further postponement or cancellation of the Olympics. “Under the current conditions, we cannot accept fans from abroad,” said one of the sources quoted by the newspaper. With this measure, the government would like to reassure the population who fears a new spread of the coronavirus.
