Having no spectators at the Tokyo Olympics is the "least risky" option, Japanese medical experts have said.
In a report, they warned there was "a risk the movement of people" would spread Covid infections and "strain the [country's] medical system".
But other Japanese officials have indicated they want domestic fans to attend if possible. Foreign spectators have already been banned.
The final decision is expected on Monday 21 June.
The Olympics, which were originally meant to happen last year, will open on 23 July.
