Tokyo’s new daily coronavirus cases hit 5,094 on Saturday, a day after marking a record of 5,773, the Tokyo government said.

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Friday urged people to refrain from travelling as COVID-19 cases spiked to record highs in Tokyo and nationwide, heaping pressure on the medical system.
