Tokyo has confirmed 107 more novel coronavirus infections, a Tokyo government official said, the highest daily tally in two months in the city at the centre of Japan’s outbreak.
The jump comes after the city of 14 million had initially sought to hold new daily cases at fewer than 20 after the government lifted a state of emergency on May 25, only to see its tally consistently exceed 50 over the past week.
According to Reuters, Tokyo’s daily count last topped 100 on May 2. On Wednesday, it confirmed 67 new cases.
