TOKYO: The cumulative number of novel coronavirus infection cases in Japan topped six million Friday.
Although the pace of increase in cumulative COVID-19 cases is slowing as the sixth wave of infections has peaked out, some experts are concerned over the possibility of a fresh infection wave hitting the country due to the spread of the BA.2 subvariant of the highly transmissible omicron strain of the coronavirus.
On Friday, Tokyo confirmed 7,825 new COVID-19 cases, the government of the Japanese capital said. The figure was down by around 600 from a week earlier.
