Mori, also a former Japanese Prime Minister, told a news conference later that the Tokyo Olympic torch relay, scheduled to begin in Fukushima on March 26, will no longer begin as originally planned.
"We will not start the torch relay," he said. "In response to the postponement of the Olympics, we will draw a new plan for the relay."
The postponement of the Games was a "sigh of relief" for Governor Koike, who has stressed numerous times that the Games would be held as planned.
"Now, Tokyo's primary goal is to overcome the coronavirus," she said.
