Tokyo Olympics: Japan’s top medical adviser says 'no fans' safest
TOKYO - The safest way to hold the Tokyo Olympics is without any fans, the top medical adviser to the Japanese government said in a report on Friday.Dr. Shigeru Omi’s recommendation seems to put him at odds with organizers and the International Olympic Committee with the Olympics opening in just five weeks on July 23.Fans from abroad were banned several months ago, and organizers are to announce early next week if some local fans should be allowed."We believe the risks of infections inside venues would be lowest by holding the event with no fans," said the report, which was compiled by a group of 26 experts led by Omi, a former World Health Organization official.
