'We understand that countermeasures for Covid-19 next year, particularly during games time, is one of the biggest things to address in preparing for the games next year.' Tokyo Olympics spokesman Masa Takaya

IOC member John Coates, who oversees Tokyo preparations, said a few weeks ago in Australia that the Tokyo Olympics face “real problems," partially because of the numbers involved: 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes to start with, and then staff, officials, media and up to 80,000 volunteers. “We will move ahead with the items that should be streamlined and simplified,” she said, giving no details on the downsizing and adding that the public would be consulted.
One typical report said Olympic seating could be reduced, leaving in limbo the disposition of millions of tickets already sold.However, he offered nothing concrete except to say that “countermeasures” against Covid-19 will not be determined until this fall. That would include plans for fans, quarantines and so forth.
Like many countries, Japan is headed into a recession brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, Olympic costs have soared. The cost of the delay in Japan has been estimated at $2 billion to $6 billion. Neither the IOC nor organisers have given a figure for the costs to Japan, or who will pay for them.
