The Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association has called for the cancelation of the 2021 Olympics as COVID-19 cases surge in Japan's largest city.
The group representing 6,000 primary care doctors noted hospitals in Tokyo "have their hands full and have almost no spare capacity," amid a surge in infections," according to Reuters.
The Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association's push to cancel the games seems to be in line with public sentiment. In a poll released Monday, 83 percent of voters in a nationwide survey said the Olympics should be postponed or canceled, per The Asahi Shimbun in Japan.
