Japan to allow up to 10,000 domestic spectators at Olympic venues despite covid concerns

TOKYO ­— Olympic organizers will allow spectators at this summer's Tokyo Games but cap attendance at 10,000 people or 50 percent of a venue's capacity, whichever is smaller, they announced Monday.

The upper limit will not include VIPs, officials and other "stakeholders," organizers said, nor will it include school groups, which were given preferential opportunities to attend events.
