Tokyo Olympics organizers have a lot of work to do after postponing the event due to the coronavirus. They scheduled the Summer Games to open on July 23, 2021. The announcement came the same day that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government reported 570 new cases of infections.
Although Japan handled the coronavirus pandemic better than other countries, cases have been on the upward swing in recent weeks. At present, there are around 2,000 deaths from the virus.
According to Olympic officials, four of the test events will have athletes from overseas. They include gymnastics, volleyball, diving, and swimming. One of the events is a track and field tournament at the new National Stadium on May 9. However, it is still unclear if athletes from overseas will join the event.
