Of the approximately 1,500 residents surveyed, 68 percent do not think that in the current situation with a coronavirus pandemic, it is possible to ensure the smooth running of the event, as promised by the organizers.
According to a survey by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, only 21 percent of Japanese believe in a safe Olympics, while 55% are completely against their actions. One third of respondents were in favor of implementation. In Tokyo, they declared the fourth state of emergency for the pandemic, which will apply throughout the Olympics (July 23 to August 8).
The idnes.cz portal informed on Monday morning that the Czech beach volleyball player Ondřej Perušič had a positive test for COVID-19. Together with his colleague, they were among the medal hopes of the Czech Republic. They play in amazing shape.
After arriving in Tokyo, the test was still negative, but during the daily testing in the village, Sunday’s result was positive. “He has absolutely no symptoms of the disease, but PCR analysis confirmed the result of the antigen test,” said the head of the Czech team, Martin Doktor.
The organizers of the volleyball player took them to a hotel, which is designed to isolate asymptomatic cases. By the way, Perušić, like his teammate, has been vaccinated,
“We immediately isolated all infected people, there is no risk from other participants or the Japanese population,” DPA was quoted as saying by the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach.
Toyota put her hands away
Interesting news in connection with the 2020 Olympics also came from the car company Toyota, which is the largest Japanese sponsor of the event. Its representatives have decided to officially distance themselves from the events related to the games and do not even broadcast the prepared advertisements.
They have already reported it to the Japanese media. Toyota CEO Akio Tojoda and other representatives of the group canceled their participation in the opening ceremony of the games. They argue that the 2020 Olympics have already lost their original meaning and have encountered misunderstanding in the eyes of a large part of the public.
Toyota is one of about 60 Japanese companies to spend a total of more than $ 3 billion to obtain sponsorship rights for the 2020 Olympics. .
