On April 28, local time, Yokokura Yoko, president of the Japanese Medical Association, said that if there is no effective vaccine against the new coronavirus, the Tokyo Olympics will be difficult to hold in 2021. Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee Chairman Yoshiro Mori also said that if the new coronavirus epidemic remains uncontrolled by 2021, the Tokyo Olympics will be cancelled.
Affected by the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, originally scheduled for 2020, has been postponed and is currently scheduled to open on July 23, 2021. According to Japanese media reports, the initial budget of the Tokyo Olympics was about 1.35 trillion yen (about 89.167 billion yuan), and the delay may bring about 300 billion yen (about 19.815 billion yuan) in additional costs.
