Today (22nd), one day before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, a new number of corona19 confirmed cases approaching 2,000 were confirmed in Tokyo.



The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced on the same day that 1,979 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Tokyo.



This is an increase of 147 from the previous day and 671 from Thursday a week ago.



On this day, the number of daily confirmed cases in Tokyo was the highest in about six months after recording 2,044 people on January 15.



The Japanese government declared a 'state of emergency' in Tokyo on the 12th in response to the spread of Corona 19, but since then, the number of confirmed cases per day in Tokyo has been increasing.



At the Corona 19 monitoring meeting held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government yesterday, it was suggested that if the spread of infection continues according to the current trend, on the 3rd of next month, when the Olympics are in full swing, the number of confirmed cases per day will reach 2,598.
