\n Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said on Thursday it may be necessary to stage a \u201csimplified\u201d Olympics next year due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and that organizers were already discussing possible changes.<\/p>\n

Koike\u2019s comments come after the Yomiuri newspaper reported that various options, such as mandatory coronavirus testing and having fewer spectators, were being considered by organizers.<\/p>\n

John Coates, the head of the International Olympic Committee\u2019s (IOC) inspectorate for Tokyo, has said a lack of defense against the new coronavirus threatened the Games and organizers had to start planning for what could be a \u201cvery different\u201d Olympics if there were no signs of COVID-19 being eradicated.<\/p>\n

Koike did not go into details but said such discussions were necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cHolding the Olympic and Paralympic Games calls for sympathy and understanding of Tokyoites and the Japanese people,\u201d Koike told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor that, we need to rationalize what needs to be rationalized and simplify what needs to be simplified.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Yomiuri, citing government and organizing committee sources, said making Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests mandatory for all spectators \u2014 in addition to athletes and staff \u2014 and limiting movement in and out of the athletes\u2019 village were among the options Japan would discuss with the IOC.<\/p>\n

The IOC and Japanese government in March took the unprecedented decision to delay the Games, which had been due to start in July, for a year due to the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n

A further delay beyond 2021 has been ruled out.<\/p>\n

The new coronavirus has infected more than 6.4 million people and killed about 380,000 around the world. Japan has avoided the kind of explosive outbreak seen in countries such as the United States and Brazil, with about 17,000 infections and 900 known deaths to date.<\/p>\n

When asked for comment, Tokyo 2020 organizers directed Reuters to its regular news conference scheduled for later in the day.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
