The Olympic torch continues to tour Japan ahead of the Summer Games, which begins in July. It's scheduled to pass through all of the country's prefectures ahead of the opening ceremony. But the local Osaka government has called for its turn on April 14 to be canceled amid a sharp rise in coronavirus cases in the prefecture. Olympic organizers say they're talking to Osaka about a possible solution.
