A top World Health Organization (WHO) official denied advising the International Olympic Committee or Japanese officials against delaying or canceling the 2020 Olympics.

“We have not offered advice to the IOC for the Olympics one way or another and neither would we,” Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the WHO’s emergencies committee, told reporters in Geneva on Feb. 14.
