Japan has seen a smaller Covid-19 outbreak than many countries with just 13,000 deaths and about 2.9% and according to the Tokyo 2020 president Seiko Hashimoto, they will still host the games unless the pandemic stops a majority of teams from travelling.
"If various countries around the world experience very serious situations and delegations from most countries can't come, then we wouldn't be able to hold it. But conversely, unless such a situation emerges, the Games will not be canceled," she told the Nikkan Sports daily.
Japan is battling the fourth wave of the pandemic and under a state of emergency is still in doubt to host the games plus considering the low public support.
Overseas fans have already been barred, and a decision on whether to allow domestic spectators is expected after the state of emergency in Tokyo ends on June 20.
