Corona laws

A state of emergency has been declared in Tokyo since July 12 in anticipation of the Olympics. This time the Olympics are almost without spectators. Foreign visitors are not allowed to enter Japan. Locals can watch some games, but they are banned.
What kind of ban? There is no excitement, no song, no sound, no whistle. Nothing can be done as there is a risk of corona infection.
You cannot remain on a team. Visitors must maintain physical distance. The Olympics end on August 6, but the state of emergency in Tokyo will continue until August 22.

Everyone should enter Japan with negative results. Athletes will be tested every moment in the Games Village.
