Tokyo: Residents Demand Scrapping Of Olympics 2021 Over COVID Fears

Japnese citizens are recommending to abort Olympics 2021 since they fear a hike in COVID-19 cases due to the arrival of foreigners. According to NHK's polls, one-third of Tokyo residents favoured the cancellation. Moreover, only 27% of residents want the Olympics to be conducted in contrast to 31% who endorse a delay in games. Reportedly, about 15,000 international athletes are expected to participate in the 2021 games.
