The state of emergency in Tokyo has been extended, with a cloud of disaster looming over the Olympic skies

 TOKYO: Last Wednesday, 621 people were infected with the new corona in Tokyo. In a city of 36 million people, the numbers aren't huge, but with less than three months to go before the Olympics begin, it's only natural to be anxious. Otherwise the whole country will burn in the face of any untoward incident. So there is no risk, extending the state of emergency in Tokyo. The state of emergency has been extended from May 11 to May 31 in various provinces of the country, including Tokyo and neighboring Osaka.

And with this, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is once again a cloud of disaster in the sky of the Olympic Games. After reviewing all the issues surrounding the Olympics, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike ruled in favor of extending the state of emergency. "We are not in a position to lift the state of emergency," he said. We think the restrictions need to be extended. "

The coaches of the Japanese national hockey team did not care about the number of infections, but the way the virus is changing its character has given way to an emergency. Siegfried Aikman told the Times of India, ‘The infection is not very high compared to the population of Tokyo. However, there is still room for caution and the administration is looking into that. I think it will be possible to bring the infection under control within the next one month. Every time the administration goes on a lockdown, the rate of infection has dropped significantly. '

He is currently on a friendly tour in Malaysia with the team to prepare for the Olympics. Meanwhile, the number of those who took part in the torch relay has increased to 8. Among them, 6 people have been infected with the virus this month. In this situation, the organizers called 500 nurses for the games and sent them to face criticism. In the midst of the ongoing state of emergency in the city, the organizers of the games feel that the demand for health workers is 'insensitive'.

Mikito Ikeda, a health worker in Nagoya, central Japan, said, ‘We are surprised by such insensitive behavior. This means that the lives of ordinary people are being taken lightly. This is a time when hospitals are feeling the effects of a shortage of health workers. They want 500 people there. Is it ever possible? ’The state of emergency across the city as well as the adverse reactions of health workers to the demands of the organizers seem to be intensifying the cloud of uncertainty surrounding the games.
