Osaka – The Olympic torch relay scheduled for the city of Osaka has been canceled due to a massive spike in COVID-19 cases, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters Thursday evening.
Osaka Gov. Hirofumi Yoshimura said earlier in the day that the section of the torch relay to be held in the city of Osaka later this month should be suspended because of the sharp rebound in coronavirus infections.
