Komeito Chief Representative Natsuo Yamaguchi spoke with reporters on July 1, saying that the prospect of holding Olympic events without spectators should be seriously entertained. He said that the government should make its final decision based on whether the covid infection in Japan shows clear signs of a rebound. He added that the government should use the opportunity to make very clear to the public specific initiatives that will combat the spread of the coronavirus.
