TOKYO: Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike on Monday asked residents to stay away from bars and music venues, stepping up her call for people to cut back on unnecessary travel as Japan's capital braces for a rise in coronavirus infections.

The number of infection cases in the city has climbed to 443 cases as of Monday, the Tokyo Metropolitan government said. The tally of daily cases was 13 according to an initial Reuters calculations, after they jumped by a record high 68 on Sunday.
