A vaccine is not a requirement for holding next year's postponed Olympics and Paralympics, the CEO of the Tokyo Games said Friday. Toshiro Muto was speaking after a task force meeting with government officials, disease experts and Japanese Olympic officials. It’s the first of several high-level meetings dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic as Tokyo tries to figure out if it can hold the games. It’s not a condition for the delivery of the Tokyo 2020 Games. Japan has reported about 1,300 deaths from COVID-19 but new cases in Tokyo have fallen in the last few weeks.
