New sanctions over fears of a mutant version
The new version of the mutant Coronavirus has caused panic in Japan. Already flights to and from Japan have been stopped and visitors from other nations are not being allowed. Given the situation, it is being speculated that the Olympic games may not be held this year in Tokyo. A survey held in Japan states that respondents are in favour of postponing the games.
“I am determined to realize a safe and secure Tokyo Games as proof that mankind will have overcome the virus. At some point in time, we will naturally make a decision as to whether to actually hold it. Until then the Japanese government will do what it needs to do and make progress and prepare for it,” Yoshihide Suga, the Prime Minister of Japan said.
