In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic raged around the world, and many large-scale activities were forced to be cancelled or postponed. As one of the largest sports events in the world, the Tokyo Olympic Games is facing unprecedented challenges. After many postponements, BOCOG finally decided to hold the Olympic and Paralympic Games from July 23rd to August 8th, 2002/KLOC-0. However, under the circumstance that the epidemic has not been completely controlled, whether the Tokyo Olympic Games can be carried out smoothly and whether there will be spectators present has become a matter of great concern.
operation sequence/order
Step 1: Buy a ticket.
For the audience who want to go to Tokyo to watch the Olympic Games, they need to buy tickets first. However, due to the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee has decided to limit the number of tickets sold to about 50% of the original plan, that is, about 3 million tickets. In addition, in order to avoid crowd gathering, the way of purchasing and collecting tickets has also changed.
Specifically, the audience needs to register an account in official website and get tickets through a lottery. The way to collect tickets has also changed. Visitors need to pick up their tickets at the designated ticket collection office within one week before the competition, and have their identity verified and their body temperature tested.
Step 2: Enter Japan.
For overseas audiences, entering Japan is also a problem that must be considered. According to the regulations of the Japanese government, all people entering Japan need to be observed in isolation 14 days. In addition, the audience also needs to provide negative proof of nucleic acid test and have their body temperature tested when entering the country.
However, due to the epidemic, the Japanese government has decided to temporarily ban overseas tourists from entering the country to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This means that if the epidemic is not controlled, the Tokyo Olympic Games is likely to become a sports meeting with zero spectators.
Step 3: Watch the game.
For the audience who can watch the game, there are also some rules to follow when watching the game. First of all, the audience needs to wear masks and keep a social distance. Secondly, the audience needs to take a temperature test at the designated entrance and disinfect their hands before entering the venue.
In addition, spectators also need to abide by the rules in the venue, such as no smoking and no dangerous goods. If spectators break the rules, they will be asked to leave the venue.
final result
In the shadow of the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games is facing unprecedented challenges. Although the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee has taken a series of measures to ensure the safety of the game, it is still unknown whether there are spectators present to watch the game. If it is finally decided to ban spectators from entering the stadium, the Tokyo Olympic Games will become a zero-spectator Olympic Games, which will be the first Olympic Games without spectators in history and will also become an important memory in the history of global sports.
