Tokyo's Paralympic Games to open as Japan extends Covid-19 emergency to battle surge in cases
The opening ceremony will come with Tokyo and 12 other regions under a virus state of emergency that largely limits the opening hours of bars and restaurants and bans them from selling alcohol.
Almost all spectators will be barred from venues, though a school programme bringing children to some events is going ahead. Japan team deputy chief Miki Matheson told AFP that challenging conditions were nothing Paralympians hadn't experienced before. This year's Paralympics will feature 22 sports, with badminton and taekwondo appearing for the first time.
