Tokyo Olympics organizers say the Games can proceed without a coronavirus vaccine

The Washington Post

The Japanese government expects there to be a vaccine by the middle of next year. But even if that doesn't happy, the organizers expect the Games to proceed, even if it means limited spectators. “We don’t think a vaccine is a prerequisite for holding the Olympics,” Toshiro Muto, CEO of Tokyo 2020, told The Washington Post. “It would be still beneficial if an effective vaccine is developed by next year, and we do hope that will be the case.”
