日本东京都政府29日透露，为防止人群聚集导致新冠病毒传播，奥运火炬进入东京后，将避免在公共道路举办传递活动，改在封闭场所内举行点火仪式。

Japan's Tokyo metropolitan government said 29 days to prevent COVID-19 from being spread by crowd crowds. After the Olympic torch entered Tokyo, it would avoid carrying out activities on public roads and holding a lighting ceremony in enclosed venues.

目前，奥运火炬已经抵达首都周边，预计7月9日进入东京都，开始14天的首都内传递。东京都政府表示，火炬传递开始后，除7月15日和7月16日仍保留在海岛上正常举行传递仪式外，首都内其它地区的传递活动将全部改为室内点火仪式。

At present, the Olympic torch has arrived around the capital, and is expected to enter Tokyo on July 9, starting the 14 day relay in the capital. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government said that after the start of the torch relay, the relay activities in other areas of the capital will be changed to indoor ignition ceremonies, except for the normal relay ceremonies on the islands on July 15 and 16.

此外，7月19日到7月23日开幕当天的传递方式将根据到时东京都的疫情状况另行决定。东京都自从6月21日解除紧急状态之后，确诊病例一直呈上升趋势，有专家已经警告，随着解除紧急状态后人流的增长，传染性很强的变异病毒也正在快速传播。

In addition, the mode of transmission from July 19 to July 23 will be determined according to the epidemic situation in Tokyo. Since the lifting of the emergency in Tokyo on June 21, the number of confirmed cases has been on the rise. Some experts have warned that with the increase of people flow after the lifting of the emergency, the highly infectious mutant virus is also spreading rapidly.
