Games on? Or Games over?

It would be one of the biggest sports news stories ever.

The postponement - or cancellation - of the world's greatest sporting mega-event because of coronavirus would be unprecedented in peacetime.

The 2020 Olympics are due to take place in Tokyo from 24 July to 9 August - here are some of the key questions as the Olympic movement faces up to uncharted territory.

The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has topped 100,000 according to the Johns Hopkins University, which is collating data from various national and regional health authorities.

Their tracker dashboard (here, external) puts the great majority of those cases in mainland China.

British Airways says two members of staff have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Both have been isolated and are recovering at home.

This will include work on eight possible vaccines which are already in development as well as further research, the government said.

The funding will also support a lab in Bedford to develop a test that could provide results within 20 minutes.

But the test could still be six months away.

It’s possible that for the first time since the establishment of an independent Vatican city state, in February 1929, the celebration of Mass on Easter Sunday, and other services during Holy Week, could be cancelled.

It’s worth remembering that even during the Second World War, Easter Sunday was celebrated in St Peter’s.

On an ordinary Sunday, there are around 30,000 gathered in the square. But Easter Sunday draws some 100,000 Catholics from all over the world to mark the Resurrection of Christ. A vast number of people in close proximity – also taking Holy Communion from common utensils that are shared among the crowd.

At this stage, the Pope’s official spokesperson has said that all services are expected to continue. But it’s also worth remembering that Pope Francis is an 83-year-old man - and the Holy See is full of elderly men - so the Vatican will be watching what happens with great care.

UK supermarkets have rejected claims from Health Secretary Matt Hancock that they have had discussions with the government about getting food to people who have been forced to self-isolate.

He told BBC Question Time on Thursday: "We are working with the supermarkets."

But supermarket sources said that while they have had general talks about security of food supplies, they have not discussed getting food to homes.

One executive told the BBC: "Matt Hancock has totally made up what he said about working with supermarkets. We haven't heard anything from government directly."

He added that sales of cupboard basics like pasta and tinned goods have "gone through the roof".

While the supermarket was largely keeping up with demand, teams are working "round the clock" to keep shelves stocked.

Religious groups have been announcing new guidance in a bid to protect congregations from the outbreak.

Among them is the Church in Wales, which has urged ministers not to share chalices during communion in a bid to halt the spread of coronavirus.

Its new advice also asks people to use "non-physical" ways of sharing the peace, instead of handshakes, hugs or kisses.

Catholics in some dioceses in England and Wales have also been advised not to offer their hands for the sign of peace. And Quakers have been urged not to shake hands as they would normally at the end of their meetings for worship.

President Martín Vizcarra confirmed the case on Friday morning.

He said the patient was a 25-year-old male who had visited Spain, France and the Czech Republic.

"We have arranged all appropriate measures from the medical point of view," the president said.

The mayor of Milan has sought to lessen fears surrounding the coronavirus outbreak. In a video, Beppe Sala encouraged visitors to return to his city.

"Unfortunately, some media report news on the situation in northern Italy that does not correspond to reality. We are hit by a crisis that knows no geography because this virus is a global health issue," Mr Sala said.

"We look forward to welcoming you back to our city with our warm hospitality, contemporary flavour, culture, design, food and our personality," he added. "Milan does not stop, see you soon."

Italy is Europe's worst hit country, with more than 3,800 cases and 148 deaths. The infections remain centred on outbreaks in two northern regions - Lombardy and Veneto - and have damaged the valuable tourism industry there.

Government plans against the coronavirus must take "great care to protect the most vulnerable", the UN human rights boss has warned.

Michelle Bachelet, the UN's high commissioner for human rights, said the measures to stop the spread of the virus would only work if they took into account "those on low incomes, isolated rural populations, people with underlying health conditions, people with disabilities and older people living alone or in institutions".

She added that any action, including lockdowns and quarantines, should should be "necessary and proportionate" and must comply with human rights laws.
