US officials pointed out that the surge in coronavirus cases in Japan was caused by the mutation of the virus and may even pose risks to vaccinated people. They did not prohibit Americans from visiting Japan, but the warning may affect insurance rates and whether Olympic athletes and other participants decide to participate in the Olympic Games starting on July 23.

Most metropolitan areas in Japan are in a state of emergency. Due to the increase in severe COVID-19 cases, the country’s medical system is under pressure. It is expected that the state of emergency will remain in mid-June. This raises concerns about how the country will respond to the arrival of thousands of Olympic athletes if the country’s hospitals are still under pressure and the population is rarely vaccinated.

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said at a regular press conference on Tuesday that the United States has warned that necessary travel is not prohibited, and Japan believes that the United States’ efforts to host the Olympics in Tokyo have not changed.

Kato said: “We believe that the US position supporting the Japanese government in realizing the determination of the Olympics has not changed.” He pointed out that Washington has indicated to Tokyo that the travel warning has nothing to do with the participation of the US Olympic team.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee stated that it still hopes that American athletes can safely participate in the Tokyo Olympics.

A few months ago, the Tokyo Olympics banned fans from abroad, but athletes, families, sports officials and other stakeholders from all over the world still attract a large number of international travelers.

The Japanese public opinion survey has expressed opposition to the Olympic Games for safety reasons, and most people will not be vaccinated.

The United States from the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned: “Due to the current situation in Japan, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk of acquiring and spreading COVID-19 variants. All travel to Japan should be avoided.”

The State Department’s warning was more straightforward. It said: “Due to COVID-19, please do not travel to Japan.”

Public Health Agency of Canada is currently providing advice Boycott all unnecessary travel Abroad.
