The Tokyo Games torch relay planned ahead of the Olympics is scheduled to start in 100 days at the end of March, Olympics organizers said on Tuesday.
The 121-day relay, planned to start on March 25, will engage 10,000 runners and tens of thousands of officials across 859 municipalities, The Associated Press reported. But the coronavirus safety concerns that postponed the relay last year remain as the world has now seen more than 72.9 million confirmed cases.
The relay is slated to begin in Fukushima, which was the original starting point of the race scheduled about nine months ago.
The Tokyo Olympic organizing committee met virtually on Tuesday, saying the coronavirus safety measures will be developed for the relay.
