TOKYO: If the Olympics can’t be held in Tokyo this summer due to the global outbreak of the coronavirus, a delay of one or two years would be the most realistic option, a Tokyo Olympic Committee executive board member told the Wall Street Journal.
Experts say a one-year postponement to the same time next year would pose major logistical problems but was doable for broadcasters because it fits into their generally open summer schedule. Japan has reported nearly 1,300 cases, including about 700 from a cruise ship that was quarantined near Tokyo last month.
