Covid Outbreak! Diagnosed referees sneaked out of quarantine and protests endangering the Tokyo Olympics
Japan’s number of confirmed covid cases has surged recently, and the number of infections nationwide exceeded 10,000 since 30 July 2021. Nobuhiko Okabe, Head of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee’s COVID-19 Countermeasures Expert Meeting, said frankly that if the number of covid cases increases, the medical system is facing tightness, it is really necessary to consider terminating the Tokyo Olympics.
On 30 July, news broke that two confirmed Tokyo Olympics referees sneaked out of the epidemic prevention hotel during the quarantine period. This was the first time Tokyo Olympics had at least a confirmed person going out in violation of regulations.

Epidemic surges, protests against the Tokyo Olympics continue, Japanese government faces multiple challenges
The Tokyo Olympics are currently being held. Recently, the number of covid patients in Japan has skyrocketed, and public protests have continued to rise. Coupled with the hot and humid weather in the past few days, which caused discomfort to the players, the Japanese government is facing multiple challenges.
The Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed for one year due to the epidemic, did not get rid of the impact of the epidemic after all. Except for the unprecedented event held in a no-spectator mode, the number of infections in Japan has extremely increased, and the number of infections exceeded 10,000 for the first time on 29 July. IOC emphasized in a press conference on 29 July that the spread of the epidemic has nothing to do with the holding of the Olympics.
In Tokyo, the hot weather has exceeded 34 degrees since the opening ceremony. Although the organizers of the conference have taken measures to provide air-conditioning to the venue and prepare ice packs as part of the heat, it is still difficult to stop the heat. Taking into account the impact on the health of the players, the start time of some outdoor games from the 29th has been adjusted to 3 pm.
Japanese people said, "The forcible opening of the Olympic Games is one of the reasons for the surge in the epidemic."
The Japanese people’s protests against the Olympics continue to increase. They believe that without the Olympics, the number of infections in Japan will not increase. They call for an immediate stop to the Olympics.
Japanese people said, "We are not only right about the increase in the infection caused by the Olympics. The Olympics should be stopped immediately and all budgets and resources should be used for epidemic prevention. This is what the government should do."
Japanese people said, "In any case, because of the gathering of people due to the Olympics, the risk of infection may increase."
On the streets of Japan, the protests of the people are in contrast with the people who happily watch the Olympic Games.
Every day constant public protests and the physical discomfort of the players in the hot and humid environment have brought considerable pressure to the Japanese government.

Covid tally of Tokyo on 31 July 2021
The Japanese media "NHK" reported that 4,058 new confirmed cases on 31 July, breaking the previous record, and it is the first time that Tokyo has exceeded 4000 cases. Since the 28th, the number of people infected in Tokyo has exceeded 3000 for four consecutive days. It is still expanding.
Japan’s "TV Asahi" reported that there are currently 2,995 covid patients admitted to the hospitals in Tokyo, which is twice the number a month ago, and more than half of the covid patients-reserve beds in Tokyo’s hospitals have been occupied.
Nobuhiko Okabe said in an interview that when ordinary people and Olympic athletes need to be hospitalized and there are not enough hospital beds, they should not blindly give priority to athletes. Instead, they should judge who should be hospitalized based on their illness severity. If the medical hospitalization system is close to collapse, it is necessary to consider terminating Tokyo Olympics.
