A SPIKE IN CORONAVIRUS CASES IN TOKYO HAS RAISED FRESH FEARS ABOUT THE OLYMPICS IN THE SUMMER.

JAPAN’S CAPITAL REPORTED A DAILY RECORD OF 1,337 NEW COVID-19 INFECTIONS ON THURSDAY AND THE NATIONWIDE FIGURE WAS 4,515.

LOCAL AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVE NOW WARNED THAT A STATE OF EMERGENCY MIGHT BE NEEDED TO TACKLE THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE — JUST 203 DAYS BEFORE THE RESCHEDULED OLYMPICS ARE DUE TO START.

JAPAN HAS ALREADY BANNED ALL NON-RESIDENT FOREIGNERS FROM ENTERING THE COUNTRY UNTIL JANUARY 31.

BUT OLYMPIC ORGANISERS STILL INSIST THE GAMES WILL TAKE PLACE AS PLANNED IN THE SUMMER IN FRONT OF SPECTATORS, INCLUDING OVERSEAS VISITORS.
