Despite the emergency in Tokyo, the cases of corona are increasing tremendously. Two days before the start of the 'Maha Kumbh of the Games', this host city recorded 1832 new cases of corona virus on Wednesday, the highest in the last six months (since January 16). A state of emergency is in force in Tokyo, which will continue till August 22. This is the fourth emergency in this city after the start of the corona virus epidemic.
All sports venues in the Tokyo area have been banned for fans. Toshio Nakagawa, president of the 'Japan Medical Association', believes that even if the Olympics were not organized, cases would increase. Experts say that the cases of virus infection are increasing rapidly due to the lack of vaccination among young people. About 23 percent of people in Japan have been fully vaccinated, but the campaign has been affected by a lack of vaccine supplies.
