Experts warn of "critical" COVID surge in Tokyo during Olympics
Health experts warned Wednesday of a possible "critical" coronavirus situation in Tokyo, estimating that daily infections in the capital could hit a record of around 2,600 in early August during the Olympics.
The metropolitan government reported 1,832 new COVID-19 cases the same day, the highest since mid-January, as public concern remains high that the Olympics could become a superspreader event with particular concern about the transmission of the highly contagious Delta variant of the virus.
