The Olympic Games in Tokyo, postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19, will be held at the appointed time, despite the fact that the world still has not dealt with the coronavirus pandemic.
This was agreed on Monday, November 16, in Tokyo by the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Sugi.
Sugi expressed confidence that the games will be held next summer. Bach thanked the prime minister for his efforts and stressed that the sports festival would become a symbol of solidarity in the post-coronavirus era. According to the Kyodo agency, the IOC is going to help provide athletes and Olympic guests with a coronavirus vaccine.
The decision to postpone the Olympics was made at the end of March after the National Olympic Committee of Canada announced that it would not send its athletes to the Games in 2020 due to the risk of illness.
