Japanese Government Planning 10,000-Spectator Cap at Tokyo Olympics

Japan could be set to allow up to 10,000 spectators inside its stadiums at next month’s Tokyo Olympics, with a handful of the country’s top health experts approving the proposed plans.

Currently the majority of the country is under heavy COVID-19 restrictions, which means these proposed changes wouldn’t come into effect until the end of June.

With overseas spectators already ruled out, the government is keen to have a limited number of domestic spectators at least, with a final decision on this set to be decided later this month.
