Tokyo’s metropolitan government on Thursday 211 showed new instances of COVID-19, the first above two hundred since Saturday, while new instances have been declining since mid-August.
A government panel on virus prevention said Wednesday that it is too early to say whether the resurgence since the end of the state of emergency in late May is over, leading to a stable peak in spaces such as Osaka and Fukuoka prefectures.
“We haven’t decided whether the buildup (in the number of infections) has stopped or not,” said Takaji Wakita, panel chairman and executive director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases.
Tokyo reached a monthly record of 8,126 new instances in August, with a record 472 on August 1.
The capital keeps its alert at the 4 levels, meaning that “infections are spreading. “
The metropolitan government has extended an application until September 15 for institutions serving alcoholic beverages and karaoke in Tokyo’s 23 neighborhoods to close at 10 p. m. , so many cases have spread from there.
