Tokyo, Mar 21, 2021, SPA -- The Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics Organizing Committee said it will meet online with officials from Japan's and Tokyo's governments as well as the International Olympic and Paralympic committees on Saturday over whether to accept overseas spectators amid the coronavirus pandemic, Kyodo reported. Officials with knowledge of the planning said earlier that the Japanese government has already decided that welcoming spectators from abroad is not possible, given public concern over the spread of the coronavirus and the emergence of more contagious variants in many countries. The meeting will be attended by International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, International Paralympic Committee President Andrew Parsons, Tokyo organizing committee president Seiko Hashimoto, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike and Japan's Olympic minister Tamayo Marukawa. --SPA 01:34 LOCAL TIME 22:34 GMT 0002 www.spa.gov.sa/w1527754
