Olympics Face Cancellation Again If COVID-19 Persists
(Undated) — The fate of the Olympics is once again hanging in a balance. Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori announced today that Olympics could be canceled if the coronavirus pandemic continues into next year. Mori said that in the past the Olympics were canceled for problems like war but currently the world is fighting an “invisible enemy.” He reiterated that organizers are still working towards holding the Games next year but leading Japanese doctor Yoshitake Yokokura said that it would be “difficult to hold the Olympics” without an effective vaccine. The Games are scheduled to start from July 23, 2021.
