The Japanese government has decided to cancel the Tokyo Olympics. Currently, the situation of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Japan is in serious condition.

According to NHK statistics on the 22nd, there were 5653 new corona19 confirmed cases across Japan the previous day (21st). As a result, the number of cumulative confirmed cases is 35,2689.

The situation in Japan is not so good that the number of confirmed cases recorded 7882 on the last 8th alone. After that, although it decreased somewhat, it still recorded 5,000 people, which is inevitable for the Japanese government.

The number of people who died from Corona 19 also numbered 94 people the day before, and a cumulative number of 4,886 people. This is the third highest number immediately after the first corona19 confirmed. There are also 1014 severely ill patients using ventilators or undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit.

By region, Tokyo was the largest with 1471 people, followed by 731 people in Kanagawa Prefecture, 501 people in Osaka Prefecture, and 480 people in Chiba Prefecture.

Currently, the Japanese government has issued an emergency situation such as refraining from going out and reducing restaurant sales to four metropolitan local governments in the metropolitan area, and has issued additional emergencies in seven regions including Osaka Prefecture.

According to The Times of the UK on the 21st (local time), the Japanese government has decided to cancel the Tokyo Olympics scheduled for July this year. The government also reported that it is focusing on hosting the Olympics in 2032.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government has tried to enforce the Tokyo Olympics despite the spread of Corona 19. However, as the spread did not subside, voices began to pop out saying that they should act in Japan as well.

On the 19th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Officer told the Mainichi Newspaper, “The staff in charge is going around the public health center every day to secure a bed exclusively for Corona 19 patients. The atmosphere of the Olympics is not found at all. “I have.”

Nevertheless, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has emphasized the holding position of “I will try to realize a safe and secure Olympics.” However, in one day, the Tokyo Olympics were canceled.
