A day after the Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association called for the July Games to be cancelled, the IOC has offered organisers extra medical personnel as part of national teams flying in to compete.

Mr Bach also said he expected more than 80 per cent of Olympic and Paralympic village residents to be vaccinated.

The Governor of Chiba prefecture, where an Olympic surfing event will be contested for the first time, has asked the organising committee to refrain from being a drain on medical resources in his area and said "President Bach kindly made an offer with respect to COVID-19 countermeasures to make additional support to the NOC medical personnel at the village and the venues, which we appreciate very much," he said.

Thousands of Japanese doctors are calling for the Olympics to be cancelled amid a surge in COVID-19 casesThe medical community has strengthened calls to cancel the Tokyo Olympic Games because of the coronavirus pandemic. As it's communistic-induced opinion, same news may mislead for clever people. Japan communist party alway divides public opinion with the use of left-leaning media for tactical-political skills. Decent public opinions are as follows. Hosting:54.6% Abort:39.7% Others:5.7% Why isn’t everything just pushed out by 4 years from the original plan? Tokyo in 2024 and so on. I don’t subscribe to Australia’s hermit policy. Not at all. Quite on the contrary. But do we really need to bring lots of people from all around the world together right now It's nuts.
