Tokyo Olympics organizers said Monday that a limited number of fans will be allowed to attend the 2021 Games in person.
The International Olympic Committee, Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee, and the governments of Japan and Tokyo jointly announced that they'd cap attendance at 50% of each venue's capacity, "up to 10,000" local spectators.
Those who do attend will be required to wear masks "at all times." Organizers also said in a news release that "speaking in a loud voice or shouting will be prohibited."
Organizers had already barred foreign fans from traveling to attend the Games.
