Tokyo 2020 will allow up to 10,000 domestic fans into Olympic venues

• Olympic organisers cap fans at 50% of venue capacity
• Spectators could still be cut if infection situation worsens

Thousands of Japanese spectators will be allowed to attend events at this summer's Olympics, organisers said on Monday, despite warnings from health experts that crowds risk fuelling a surge in coronavirus cases.

The president of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee, Seiko Hashimoto, said attendance would be capped at up to 50% of a venue's capacity or a maximum of 10,000 people.
