The Olympics host city Tokyo, as well as Thailand and Malaysia, announced record Covid-19 infections on Saturday.

Cases surged in Sydney as well, where police cordoned off the central business district to prevent a protest against a strict lockdown that will last until the end of August.

Tokyo's metropolitan government announced a record number of 4,058 infections in the past 24 hours. Olympics organisers reported 21 new COVID-19 cases related to the Games, bringing the total to 241 since July 1. The organisers did not disclose how many people were involved, if the person or people were athletes, or when the violation took place.

Protesters carried black flags and held up placards that read"Kerajaan Gagal” - a hashtag that has been popular on social media for months. The Delta variant is not necessarily more lethal than other variants, but much more transmissible, Supakit Sirilak, the director-general of Thailand's Department of Medical Sciences, told Reuters.

Vietnam, which is grappling with its worst Covid-19 outbreak, on Saturday also announced tougher measures, saying from Monday it would impose strict curbs on movement in 19 cities and provinces throughout the southern part of the country for another two weeks.
