Tokyo 2020 Games spokeswoman Masa Takaya told reporters last week that there is no Plan B for these games to be held next year. Meanwhile, Iwata, a professor of infectious diseases at Kobe University, Japan, said, "To be honest, I don't think the Olympic Games are likely to happen next year." Japan and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have postponed the Tokyo Olympic 2020 Games for a year with consent. The Olympics were postponed for a year due to the coronavirus, but it is now coming out that the Olympic Games are not possible to be held next year as the vaccination for coronavirus has not been made so far.
In recent times, the way the coronavirus epidemic is spreading around the world. In such a situation, questions are being raised whether the postponement of the games for one year is sufficient? Talking to reporters, Iwata said, "Two conditions are needed to host the Olympics, one: controlling COVID-19 in Japan and the other controlling COVID-19 everywhere because you need athletes and spectators."
He added, "Japan may be able to control the disease until next summer, I wish we could do that, but I don't think that will be possible anywhere on Earth. I am very pessimistic about organizing the games. " Iwata has said that the Olympics can take place, but with no spectators and fewer participants. At the same time, Professor Devi Sridhar, a health expert, had said that it is unrealistic to conduct the Olympics before getting the coronavirus vaccine.
