Japan plans to lift a state of emergency in Tokyo on June 20, a month before the Olympics begin.

The capital city and various other regions have been under a virus emergency since April 25.

Japan is considering allowing spectators at the Olympics, though there is no official confirmation yet.

Relaxation of restrictions could allow 10,000 people, or 50% of the venue capacity at sporting events.

An announcement is expected later Thursday after top officials discuss the matter with medical advisers.
