Tokyo — Japan needs to consider scrapping the Tokyo Olympics and speeding up its vaccine rollout amid growing virus infections, says former finance minister Jun Azumi.

The organisers of the Games in Tokyo are scheduled to give an update on preparations to the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday.
