Two days ahead of the Olympics, Tokyo’s COVID-19 infections have surged to a six-month high. Experts noted that cases among younger, unvaccinated people are sharply rising as Japan’s inoculation drive loses steam.

Tokyo is currently under its fourth state of emergency, which will last until Aug. 22, covering the entire duration of the Olympics that start Friday and end Aug. 8. Fans are banned from all venues in the Tokyo area, with limited audiences at a few outlying sites. About 23% of Japanese are fully vaccinated, still way short of the levels believed to have any meaningful effect to reduce risks on the general population.
