Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike expressed his concern over the talk of cancelling 2020 Olympics amid coronavirus outbreak. "It can't be said that the announcement of a pandemic would have no impact... But I think cancellation is unthinkable," Koike told reporters. The IOC has said it will coordinate closely with the World Health Organization, which has now officially classified the outbreak as a pandemic.
