Tokyo will do everything to develop sufficient coronavirus countermeasures to ensure spectators can enjoy the Tokyo 2020 Olympics safely, Governor Yuriko Koike said on Monday.

The city governor said she was looking forward to holding the Games as a sign of "victory" over the virus, in a statement ahead of a meeting with International Olympics Committee President Thomas Bach.

Bach is in Japan for two days to talk to Olympic organisers as they explore ways to hold the Games safely amid a pandemic.
