Olympics to allow limited spectators at Tokyo Games

The Tokyo Olympics will allow 50% capacity or up to 10,000 spectators inside venues hosting competitions this summer, officials announced on Monday.

While spectators from abroad will still not be allowed into Japan, local fans may participate in the Summer Olympics, as long as officials don’t introduce new measures to prevent coronavirus infections in case an outbreak occurs, according to a joint statement by the Olympic committees and the Tokyo and Japanese governments.
