TOKYO - The Tokyo metropolitan government said Thursday it confirmed a single-day record of 366 new cases of the novel coronavirus, as the capital strives to keep up guard against a recent surge in infections.
Tokyo and some other urban areas in Japan have seen sharp rises in confirmed cases since a nationwide state of emergency was fully lifted in late May. The daily figures announced by the metropolitan government reflect the most recent totals reported by health authorities and medical institutions in the capital.
However, concerns over further spread of the virus are growing as the central government launched a travel subsidy campaign on Wednesday, with Tokyo excluded due to the recent spike in cases in the capital, while virus infections have been climbing nationwide.
