TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo 2020 Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori said on Wednesday his team was not considering changing plans for the games and that the board member who had suggested a delay because of the coronavirus had apologised.

Earlier, a member of the organising committee's executive board told Reuters that a delay of one or two years would be the "most feasible" option if the Olympics could not be held this summer.
