Olympics: Majority of Japanese companies view games with skepticism

Accordingly, 64 percent of 9.163 companies surveyed nationwide between June 1st and 9th were in favor of canceling the games or postponing them again. That is 8,1 percentage points more than in a survey conducted at the beginning of February, according to the company survey quoted by the Kyodo news agency on Saturday. At the same time, the proportion of companies in the survey that were in favor of hosting the Olympic Games as planned, regardless of whether with or without spectators, fell from 43,8 percent to 35,9 percent. The reasons given for the growing skepticism were the slow vaccination process and concerns about a resurgence in corona infections. Despite the concerns of experts and the broad rejection among Japan's population, Japan's Olympic organizers and the IOC are continuing the final preparations for the games. The mega event was postponed by a year due to the corona pandemic and is now scheduled to open on July 23rd. Extremely strict rules of conduct apply to the Games in Tokyo. Next Monday, at a government meeting with the Tokyo city administration, the organizing committee and the International Olympic and Paralympic Committee, a decision will be made as to whether and how many domestic spectators should be admitted. Spectators from abroad have already been excluded.
