Instead, officials are seeking an extension in those areas and to expand the virus-control measure to Aichi in central Japan and Fukuoka in the south. The extension deepens uncertainty over a speculated May 17 visit by International Olympics Committee President Thomas Bach and if Japan, one of the world’s least vaccinated nations, can safely host the Summer Olympics postponed from last year and scheduled to be held July 23-Aug. 8.
Japan has about 616,000 cases including about 10,500 deaths since the pandemic began. The country has managed so far without any enforced lockdowns, but people are becoming impatient and less cooperative to virus measures, making them less effective.

IOC's Thomas Bach cancels Japan trip because of virus casesTOKYO (AP) — IOC President Thomas Bach has canceled a trip to Japan because of surging cases of COVID-19 in the country, the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee said Monday in a statement.

Screw this covid hysteria Poll shows 60% of Japanese people want OlympicGames cancelled Does the PUBLIC have any say in this or will it be up to Officials & Profiteers who were vaccinated early & who are otherwise superlatively protected? Leading from the back? That will probably turn out to be the kiss of death.
