The Tokyo metropolitan government confirmed 3,300 daily coronavirus cases Friday as the capital, where the Olympics are being held, is experiencing a surge in infections.
The figure compares with 3,865 marked Thursday when it reported a record figure for the third straight day.
The capital’s seven-day rolling average of cases has risen to 2,501.4 per day, up 80.5 percent from the previous week.
The central government has placed Tokyo under a fourth state of emergency, mostly relying on a cooperative public and not imposing a hard lockdown as in some countries, from July 12.
