The head of the World Health Organisation says the world "is failing" in terms of handling the Covid-19 pandemic.

But he said the Games - the first of the events which are underway - should go ahead to show the world what can be achieved

"Anyone who thinks #COVID19 the pandemic is over because it’s over where they live is living in a fool’s paradise. Vaccines are powerful and essential tools. But the world has not used them well"-@DrTedros #Tokyo2020 #AGoal4All https://t.co/yHGo73V5y7
