Coronavirus: Tokyo, which is already under a virus state of emergency as it hosts the Olympics, reported 3,117 cases.
Daily virus cases in Tokyo topped 3,000 for the first time on Wednesday, as several neighbouring regions weighed emergency restrictions to tackle a surge in infections. Tokyo, which is already under a virus state of emergency as it hosts the Olympics, reported 3,117 cases, and Governor Yuriko Koike called on people to avoid "unnecessary, non-urgent outings." Japan's vaccination programme started slowly, and only just over 25 percent of the population has had two jabs. "I want young people to get vaccinated. Young people's behaviour is the key. I'm asking them please for their cooperation," Koike said.More Related News
