Bach Cancels Japan trip
Posted on 2021-05-10 19:14:08
The president of the International Olympic Committee has canceled a trip to
Japan because of surging cases of COVID-19 in the country.

Thomas Bach was originally scheduled to visit Hiroshima next Monday and meet
the torch relay, and then probably travel to Tokyo.

Japan's organizing committee president Seiko Hashimoto said last week that
the trip would be ``tough'' for Bach to make, which was interpreted in Japan
as meaning it was canceled.

A state of emergency in Tokyo and other parts of the country that was
supposed to end tomorrow has now been extended until May 31.

A statement said Bach's visit would be made ``as soon a possible.''

The Olympics open in just over 10 weeks.

Organizers and the IOC have repeatedly said the Olympics will not be
canceled, and will be ``safe and secure.''
