TOKYO - Tokyo Olympics test events will resume in March and a decision on fan attendance will come in the spring, an official said on Friday , as preparations continued for the postponed Games despite ongoing coronavirus fears.

"We are... thinking about what kind of Tokyo 2020 Games we are going to have in terms of spectators," Mori told reporters, adding that government policy on the matter"will probably be decided in the spring". However, no date was announced for the marathon test, with Mori saying further discussions were needed. Sapporo is in the Hokkaido region, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus.

The tests were announced as spiralling infections and new lockdowns worldwide prompt renewed concerns over the Olympics.
