Tokyo Olympics: Should the Games take place despite alarming situation in Japan? Zee News explains

COVID-19 pandemic has once again cast doubt on Tokyo Olympics, which as of now are taking place as scheduled.  

Will the Tokyo Olympics happen this summer? - It is the question everyone is asking, the question for which people around the globe have an opinion but sadly no one has an answer.  The 2020 Summer Olympic Games, which got postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are scheduled to take place between 23 July and 8 August 2021. However, no one can be sure of any plan in these unprecedented times and the deadly coronavirus has once again cast doubt on Tokyo Olympics, which as of now are taking place as scheduled.   When the event got cancelled in 2020, there was little doubt that the situation would have stabilised in time for a full, normal Olympic Games in the summer of 2021. However, fast-forward a year and the situation in Japan has changed little with the start date rapidly approaching.
