The president of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee said Wednesday that the Games, which have already been delayed to next summer from this year, won't be able to be played if coronavirus pandemic conditions are the same as now.

Yoshiro Mori said to NHK, “If current situation continues, we couldn’t.”

Mori said he's hopeful the situation will improve and suggested a vaccine is key. The Tokyo Olympics are scheduled to open on July 23, 2021, one year from today.
