Olympic Games Postponed; Japan might lock down Tokyo, as Wuhan Pneumonia continue to breed

The impacts of the new coronavirus are unprecedented. Many countries imposed lockdown to prevent the pandemic from spreading further.

On March 24, the International Olympic Committee was announced that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics would be postponed to no later than the summer of 2021.

The day before on March 23, Governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike had urged citizens to stay away from large-scale gatherings and crowded areas. She also asked businesses to adopt flexible working hours and implement home office. She warned hat if the coronavirus continued to spread in Tokyo in the next three weeks, the city would be locked down with no other option viable.

Hong Kong's First case charged by
#NationalAnthemOrdinance for holding the British Hong Kong flag

In 2021, Hong Kong athlete Cheung Ka-Long won a gold medal on foil fencing at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The livestream of the game gathered people at a shopping mall in Kwun Tong on the day of the finals on July 26, 2021.

Police investigation followed, as the police claimed that some people misbehaved when the Chinese national anthem was played.

The police arrested an online media journalist, for reportedly holding a British Hong Kong flag when the Chinese national anthem was heard.

The man is the first Hong Kong citizen being arrested under #NationalAnthemOrdinance. He was being charged for insulting the national flag after a year of the event.

The case was first trialed on the afternoon of July 22, 2022. Since the counsel of the defendent requested more time to obtain the documents from prosecutor, Judge #LauSukHan approved the request and schedule the trial to September 9, 2022.

The defendant was allowed to go on bail with $5000. He has to hand in his travel documents and report at the police station once a week.
