TOKYO - Tokyo health officials appealed on Tuesday for more than 800 theatre-goers to get tested for the novel coronavirus after a production starring Japanese boy-band members was found to be the source of at least 20 cases.
Japan is pushing ahead with opening up parts of the country, with plans to reopen a runway at one of the country's biggest airports, even as infections persist in major cities, rural areas and US military bases. The Tokyo government said it learned of the first infection among a cast member on July 6, after which testing found 20 related cases by late Monday. It called on all audience members who attended the performance to get tested.
"Following a large number of infections seen among our spectators, we have been informed that all 800 spectators who came to see the performance have been identified as high-risk contacts," Rise Communications said on its website.
