The Tokyo Olympic organising committee on Wednesday revealed a set of new rules for the spectators attending the event to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 infection. 

Tokyo Olympics President Seiko Hashimoto told local media that following experts' advice the committee has decided against selling and drinking alcoholic drinks at the venues. Hashimoto further added that the festivities will have to be suppressed and there will be 'no hugs, no cheers and no autographs'

He also defended the committee's decision of allowing up to 10,000 spectators at the Tokyo 2020 venues. However, this decision is yet to be cleared by the Japanese government.
