Tokyo Olympic Organizers Restrict Spectators   

Organizers of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics have imposed restrictions on the few Japanese spectators who will be allowed inside the venues to prevent the spread of COVID-19.  

Under rules announced Wednesday, domestic spectators are forbidden from cheering or waving towels, approaching athletes for autographs, or talking with other spectators, and will be asked to go straight home when the event is over.  Foreign spectators have been banned from attending the event.  Alcohol sales have also been banned in the venues during the Games.
