IOC to decide fate of Olympics soon

By 612 0

Soon, the International Olympic Committee is set to decide the fate of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympic Games – which is scheduled to commence on 24th July, 2020.

Several countries have expressed their concern about the Olympics on the wake of the virus outbreak. Some countries have requested the IOC to postpone the Olympics.

Notably, Canada has withdrawn from the Olympics.

There is a chance that other countries – particularly those who have been affected severely by the virus outbreak – follow the path paved by Canada.

The IOC is expected to decide the fate of the 2020 Olympics – which is scheduled to take place in the Asian country of Japan – within the timeframe of four weeks.

As per a latest report, the IOC is not happy with the request seeking the postponement of the Olympics. Anyway, the IOC has not made an official comment about the issue yet.

It is clear that the IOC is under severe pressure to postpone the Olympics.

It was expected that the 2020 Olympics would be the most colourful Olympics. Tokyo started way early to make the event memorable.

It is unfortunate that the efforts made by Japan struggle to meet its fructification for a reason which is not in control of the country – as strange as the outbreak of a disastrous disease.

By 693 0

The continent of Europe is set to bring in some stringent measures to contain the spread of a coronavirus, Covid-19.

It is preparing to advise all its member countries to introduce stricter travel restrictions. In line with the EU’s advice, almost all European Union countries are likely to curb all unwanted traffics in their borders.

A senior EU leader opines that the less people travel the lower is the chance for the spread of the disease.

Earlier, the WHO identified the continent as the new epicentre of the virus outbreak – which originated in the Asian country of China.

Apart from the travel restriction, the continent is expected to bring in several other tough measures. It is likely to do everything to prevent any unnecessary social gathering.

The continent knows very well that if it adheres to its new measures strictly it can prevent the spread of the disease effectively.

In Europe, Italy, Spain, France and Germany are the worst affected countries. Even the United Kingdom is not safe in this matter.

Several European leaders like French President Emanuel Macron have strongly welcomed the measures suggested by the powerful administrative authority of the European Union, European Commission.
