TOKYO: New dates for the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics will likely be revealed this week, organisers said on Monday (March 30) after the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak forced the historic decision to postpone the Games until next year.

Tokyo 2020 chief Yoshiro Mori told reporters they were weighing the pros and cons of a summer and spring Games and he expected a decision from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) soon.
