TOKYO (Reuters) - This month's wheelchair rugby test event has been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, Tokyo 2020 organisers said on Tuesday.

The event, which had been scheduled for March 12-15, is the latest sporting event to be cancelled in Japan as concerns mount over Tokyo's ability to host the 2020 Olympics scheduled to begin in July.
