Tokyo Bans International Spectators from Olympics

Andy Berg Headshot

The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic games will still take place in July but international spectators will be banned from attending events due to concerns over COVID-19.

The decision was made during a call with a variety of stakeholders.

"Based on the present situation of the pandemic, it is highly unlikely that entry into Japan will be guaranteed this summer for people from overseas," the Olympic organizing committee said in a statement. "In order to give clarity to ticket holders living overseas and to enable them to adjust their travel plans at this stage, the parties on the Japanese side have come to the conclusion that they will not be able to enter into Japan at the time of the Olympic and Paralympic Games."
