If it gets serious enough for Japan to cancel, nobody else is going to be able to host it either. It's supposed to be a worldwide competition, there's no point having it if half the world can't attend and the other half really, really doesn't want to.

If national quarantine's were holding in theory they could maybe move it if another venue were possible. It'd be shocking to say the least, the only Olympics that have been skipped in the modern era were '16, '40 and '44 and that's because there were the World Wars going on at the time. The closest I think we've gotten to a similar scare would be SARS on 2002 but that was just starting iirc when the winter games in Salt Lake City started.
