A state of emergency has been declared in Japan to control the spread of corona.

A 40-day state of emergency has been declared in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, following the escalation of the Corona outbreak.

The Olympics are considered to be the biggest competition in the sports world. The competition, which is held every 4 years, was held in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics were then held from July 24 to August 9. But due to the impact of Corona, various parties, including the athletes, insisted that the matches should be postponed. The Tokyo Olympics have since been postponed.

The Olympics will be held in Tokyo from July 23 to August 5. The announcement comes just 15 days before the start of the Olympics. From July 12 to August 22, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suka declared a 4th state of emergency.

The intensity of corona spread in Tokyo continues to increase. On Wednesday alone, 920 new cases were confirmed. This is the highest daily impact on Corona 4th level in the city since mid-May.

With just 15 days to go before the start of the Olympics in Japan, the government is considering ending the Corona emergency declared in some parts of the country. But this conclusion has changed as the corona spread has increased.

During this emergency, the public will be urged to take precautionary measures against the spread of the disease, such as closing restaurants and bars at 8 pm and preventing people from leaving their homes for non-essential reasons. But those who break the rules will not be punished.

Given the state of emergency declared by the Prime Minister, it seems doubtful that fans will be allowed on the grounds during the Tokyo Olympics. A decision on this will be taken soon.
