Fans in face masks attended an international gymnastics competition in Tokyo on Nov 8, 2020. TOKYO: Fans may be asked not to cheer at the Tokyo Olympics to avoid the risk of spreading COVID-19, a top official said on Thursday.
"There's a possibility that we might ask the spectators to refrain from shouting or talking in a loud voice," Muto said after a committee meeting. While sports competitions around the world have resumed after shutting down for the pandemic, most are taking place behind closed doors. Athletes' and officials' movements will be heavily restricted for two weeks after they enter the country, but this is difficult to implement for fans, he said."As the number of foreign spectators is so high, 14 days of quarantine and a ban on public transport use is unrealistic," he told reporters after a committee meeting.
