International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach showed up in Toykothis week and is distantly meeting with coordinators and Tokyo's lead representative, while he goes through three days in self-isolation.

Organizing council chief Seiko Hashimoto said a 'very difficult decision' needed to be made while Bach added he was prepared to help with any action.

"We have shown this responsibility since the day of the postponement and we will also show it today. We will support any measure which is necessary to have a safe and secure Olympic and Paralympic Games for the Japanese people and all the participants," he said.
