Japan denies claims that Olympics are going to be canceled
Japanese officials denied claims the Tokyo Olympic Games are being canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 Games, delayed because of the virus, have the opening ceremony currently re-scheduled for 23 July this year. Reports emerged suggesting local officials having conceded the event cannot happen because of COVID-19. The IOC and the board in Tokyo insist the Games will go ahead.
