Although René Fasel, president of the IIHF, had declared in the last few days that he wanted to take until the beginning of April to sit down and decide whether or not to cancel the 2020 men's World Championship in Switzerland, it would seem that a decision has already been taken.

A few minutes later, however, the IIHF on Twitter rejected this rumor, stating that nothing has been decided yet and the status of the Worlds has not changed for the moment.
