Tokyo’s COVID-19 infections have surged to a six-month high with the Olympic host city logging 1,832 new cases just two days before the Games open.

The chief of the Tokyo organizing committee says officials will continue discussions if there is a spike in cases.TOKYO -- Tokyo's COVID-19 infections surged to a six-month high Wednesday with the Olympic host city logging 1,832 new cases just two days before the Games open.

Experts noted that cases among younger, unvaccinated people are sharply rising as Japan’s inoculation drive loses steam due to supply uncertainty. Many of the serious cases are those in their 50s. Japan has had about 84,800 infections and more than 15,000 deaths since the pandemic began, most of them since the latest wave in January.
