No foreign spectators in Tokyo?

According to today’s news, by a Japanese news agency Kyodo, there will be no overseas spectators at the Olympic Games, because of the COVID-19 concerns.

The Tokyo 2020 organizing committee has said in response that a decision would be made by the end of March.

Kyodo news agency reports that the government has concluded it would not be possible to welcome fans from abroad given public concern about the coronavirus and the more contagious variants in many countries, citing officials with knowledge of the matter.
