Japan Declares State of Emergency in Tokyo During Olympics

Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced the fourth state of emergency in the host city of Tokyo and surrounding prefectures to curb a rise in COVID-19 infections. 

Under the new restrictions, which will start on July 12 and run until August 22, bars and restaurants will be asked to suspend alcohol sales and workers will be asked to stay at home if possible. 

A decision will soon be made on whether spectators will be allowed at Olympic venues.
