Postponed Olympics could be in doubt even for 2021, says Tokyo Games CEO

Earlier this month it was confirmed the Olympics would be held from July 23 to August 8 next year due to the coronavirus pandemic. But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this week announced much of the country will enter a state of emergency as it struggles to contain the outbreak.

“I don’t think anyone would be able to say if it is going to be possible to get it under control by next July or not,” Muto said. “We’re certainly are not in a position to give you a clear answer.

“I think rather than thinking about alternative plans … mankind should bring together all of its technology and wisdom to work hard, so they can develop treatments, medicines, and vaccines.”
