Olympic Games, not in 2021? Kentaro Iwata, an infection expert, is "very pessimistic"
- “I don’t think the Olympic Games can be held in 2021,” said Kentaro Iwata, a specialist in Infectology.

The Government of Japan and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided last month to postpone the 2020 Olympic Games until 2021, but the professor at Kobe University finds it difficult to do so on that date, according to the newspaper The Japan Times. Iwata has been “pessimistic”, because there are two essential requirements: "On the one hand, to control COVID-19 in Japan and on the other hand, to control COVID-19 everywhere, because we have to invite athletes and spectators from all over the world."
The expert says that by next summer Japan may have the disease under control, but he doesn't think the same thing happens around the world: "In that sense I am very pessimistic, I don't think there will be Olympic Games in 2021. It might be a possibility, if some measures were taken, for example, to limit the number of spectators and/or participants".
