Olympic plans still on

Malaysia will be sending a contingent to the Tokyo Olympics despite fears over the current Covid-19 outbreak.

The Olympic Council of Malaysia says this is because there has not been any notification from the IOC about a postponement or cancelation.

For the record, the Rio Olympics were staged as scheduled...despite concerns about the spread of the Zika virus back in 2016.
