TOKYO - Tokyo reported 119 coronavirus cases Monday , its first reading below 200 in five days, which may ease concerns that the virus is spreading beyond nightclubs and known hot spots.
Speaking in Hokkaido on Saturday, Chief Secretary Yoshihide Suga called the infections a"Tokyo problem", according to Japanese media.Rather than resort to full-blown lockdowns, many are seeking targeted approaches to let their economies continue to recover. The effort to spark economic activity could bring increased numbers of city dwellers to the countryside, and has been criticised on social media, as residents worry that they'll bring an increased risk of infection.
On Sunday, the Osaka government lifted its coronavirus alert level to advise residents to be more cautious after reporting an increase in the number of untraceable infections and 32 new cases, the highest daily tally since Japan ended its state of emergency in May.
