The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced on the 8th that it confirmed that 15,124 people were newly infected with the new coronavirus in Tokyo.
5938 people increased from Sunday a week ago.
It's the 4th consecutive day that it surpassed the same day of the previous week.
In addition, the number of severely ill patients using a ventilator or ECMO = 54 people, one less than the 7th.
Meanwhile, 30 confirmed cases have died.
The death toll announced on Saturday was the highest ever recorded in a single day, at 35, and more than 30 since early September nearly four months ago.
There were more than 30 people on the 8th, and a person in charge of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government said, "There is a possibility that reports have come in bulk from medical institutions that were closed during the year-end and New Year holidays, so we would like to keep an eye on future trends." talking
