(CNN) The fate of next year's Olympics depends on Japan's handling of the coronavirus, according to the governor of Tokyo. Yuriko Koike said the Games could signify a "victory" over the pandemic, adding that more work is still to be done to improve treatment and testing, but admitted that organizers were contending with a number of uncertainties. The Olympics were originally scheduled to begin in July, but the start date has been moved to July 24 next year amid the Covid-19 outbreak. "The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are an important event that everyone has been waiting for," Koike told CNN's Will Ripley.
