Among the headlines for Monday, 31 May, 2021,  National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin today said that only 2,467 out of 7,000 GP clinics had registered under ProtectHealth, of which 1,482 have been officially appointed as vaccination centres, set to operate by June.

Also, sports fans in Japan could be allowed to attend Olympic events in Tokyo if they have proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test.

Having decided to ban foreign spectators, local organisers are pinning their hopes on a limited number of Japanese sports fans creating a semblance of atmosphere at venues that would otherwise be empty.
