for us nick in australia the athletes they are already planning for 2021 and not 20222020 sorry. that's exactly right there really has been a big question mark over the olympics and whether it will go ahead here in july for some time now we've coronavirus escalating russia across the globe and. has made its position pretty clear now the estrella and olympic committee has told its athletes to start preparing for 2021 essentially ruling out any athletes going to the olympics this year in july it has told its athletes that there really is a problem with uncertainty we need to remember that just to destroy your lawyer and athletes all of the glory training in different countries management there as well and that makes it very difficult when we have travel restrictions like what we've

been seeing and some countries going into lockdown and that's even before we mentioned the israeli and olympic committee has said that it's putting its athletes health 1st that is the main priority and even without crowds at these major events it does not believe the they should be competing and. team canada making a similar decision canada will not be sending any athletes to the olympic games if it does take place in 2020 and the international olympic committee really has had a lot of pressure on it to make a decision on this now that we are in the month so why it has been criticized for having somewhat of a business as usual. mentality of these so now it has said that it is looking into. the prime minister japan's prime minister shinzo has said that canceling really isn't an option so are the next 4 weeks

coronavirus is corralled or isn't but at this stage many people are giving the olympics a 2nd thought in terms of attending it it all depends how it perceives the pace of the coronavirus right now there are the cases of coronavirus in japan itself are still rising and so who knows what the case will be a year out hopefully everybody starts practicing social distancing in a very rigorous way and we can work collectively to get this under control you know i've said that people within the olympic movement can show a sense of global solidarity by canceling these olympics and not holding him this summer and it looks like that maybe is what's going to happen now it's knees daily coronavirus death toll has fallen by the country 742651 deaths on sunday it comes as countries around here about putting in place increasing the straits masha's chalons has our report. it is a mark of the severity of italy's situation when its latest coronavirus daily death
