The Olympic Games is scheduled to start from Friday 24 July and will conclude on Sunday 9 August. The Olympic qualifying matches of boxing and badminton in China have already been canceled due to the Corona virus.
Earlier, a top official of the World Health Organization (WHO) had said that it would be too early to speculate on the Tokyo Olympics getting canceled due to spread of corona virus in China which has taken more than 2000+ lives in the country. The deadly virus has also spread its root in Japan, where over 500+ persons are infected by it and four persons have also died.
Talking about the current situation in other countries of the world including China, the situation is explosive and medicines are yet not made which can cure the virus. Infected patients are also being treated, but the number of people recovering from the deadly is extremely low. From Europe to America and Asia to Arab countries, this deadly virus has not spared any part of the earth.
