Japan has pushed back this summer’s planned Tokyo Olympics to July 2021 because of the coronavirus, but that might not be good enough.

The president of the Japan Medical Association said in a video media conference Tuesday, “In my view, it would be difficult to hold the Olympics unless effective vaccines are developed.” 

Meanwhile, the president of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee told newspaper ‘Nikkan Sports’ that if the Games can’t be held next year, they will be canceled.
