Japan pushes reopening as new virus cases reach record in Tokyo

TOKYO - Japan is forging ahead with further steps to reopen the economy even as daily coronavirus cases continue to climb, with Tokyo reporting a daily record of 243 infections on Friday .

Tokyo confirmed a daily record of 243 cases on Friday, Governor Yuriko Koike told reporters. The new number surpasses the daily record of 224 cases on Thursday and is higher than any daily reported cases during the state of emergency. "Protecting lives are the most important. On the other hand to make a living, expanding economic activity is also a must. We need to do both, it's not a choice of one or the other."

Attendees will also be asked to wear masks, hold onto ticket stubs to remember where they sat, and avoid unnecessary movements within the stadiums during the games.
