The summer Olympics in Tokyo is said to cost, at a minimum, $2.5 billion extra because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The costs include fees to rebook facilities, pay additional wages for staff, testing and other measures that are being taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19. However, the International Olympic Committee event organizers in Japan say that they are confident the Games will happen in July. The Japanese Prime Minister said Friday that leaders around the world have commended him and supported him in his determination to have the Olympics.
