Although health experts around the world have questioned how the 33-sport Olympics can be run before an effective global vaccine program is in place, WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus looks positively into the horizon and calls for national unity and global solidarity to fight the coronavirus outbreak ahead of the Olympics.
“It is in our hands, but it is not easy. If we do our best, especially with national unity and global solidarity, I think it’s possible.” Tedros said.
Overall, 11,000 athletes from more than 200 countries are expected to convene in Japan, together with team officials, the organisers and volunteers.
