Too early to say whether virus threatens Olympics, WHO says

|
Despite a virus outbreak spreading from China, a top World Health Organization official said Tuesday it's much too soon to say whether the Tokyo Olympics are at risk of being canceled or moved.
Tokyo organizers and the International Olympic Committee have repeatedly said they have no contingency plans for the July 24-Aug. 9 Summer Games since the WHO declared a global health emergency last month.
The UN agency's emergency program director, Michael Ryan, said Tuesday the sporting event was "way too far" away to consider giving advice that would affect Tokyo's hosting of the Olympics.
