On June 22, Beijing time, according to Japanese media reports, the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee is planning to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages to spectators in the Olympic venues.
Hashimoto Seiko, chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, said at the press conference: “The sales and provision of alcohol to the audience is being discussed with reference to the perspective of suppressing loud speech, achieving safe guidance, and current (social) general rules.”
It is reported that officials will limit the time of day and other factors to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections. This is a difficult decision to make because of a sponsorship contract with an alcoholic beverage company. The Olympic Organizing Committee plans to announce the audience guidelines this week. The draft contains content such as avoiding gatherings for eating and drinking in the corridors of the venues, and may put forward policies related to drinking.
Olympic Minister Marukawa said: “I want to consider how long alcoholic beverages can be served in the area and in what form. It is necessary to decide this matter in coordination and consultation with the governors of each region. .”
Due to the spread of the new crown epidemic, most sports events held in areas subject to emergency declarations prohibit the provision of alcohol and limit the number of customers. On the other hand, areas with key measures such as preventing the spread of the new crown may also allow restricted time sales of alcohol.
According to the guidelines for response measures formulated by the Japanese Football J League, the sale of alcohol, including bringing it into stadiums, is prohibited in the areas subject to the emergency declaration. According to the requirements of the local government where the venue is located, the key measures area can provide alcohol for a certain period of time.
The Japanese rugby team intensive game held this month is held in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which is neither an emergency declaration nor an area subject to key measures. However, alcohol is prohibited in the stadium. The countermeasures for different competition events are different.
Previously, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee stated that it would allow participating athletes to bring alcoholic beverages into the athlete’s village, but only in their rooms. This is part of the effort to ensure the safety of the Olympic Games in the context of the new crown virus epidemic.
