2021 Olympics may be the most expensive in history
The costs of the Olympics increased by $ 2.8 billion due to the measures necessary to prevent the spread of the coronavirus
Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga indicated that the Tokyo 2021 Olympics and Paralympics will go ahead this summer despite concerns about rising coronavirus cases.
Covid-19 cases increased in Japan in recent days and Tokyo reported that for the first time it has more than a thousand daily infections.
Japan is responding to cases of the new variant of the coronavirus that was first found in the UK, and Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike has warned that the number of infections could explode.
However, the possibility of a further delay is ruled out
The costs of the Olympic Games increased by 2.8 billion dollars due to the measures necessary to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but the organizers have already ruled out a new delay.
The big event is due to start on July 23 and the Paralympic Games will follow a month later, starting on August 24.
