The International Olympics Committee (IOC) announced on Monday, March 23rd, 2020, that the Olympic games scheduled for this summer are being postponed to 2021. The Committee cited concerns for public health and safety amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement by the IOC comes a day after two countries, Canada and Australia, announced that they would not send athletes to the games if they were held this year.
