Tokyo sees more than 130 new coronavirus cases, highest jump in one day - NHK

More than 130 people were newly infected with the novel coronavirus in Tokyo, Japan's NHK public broadcaster reported, citing officials from the metropolitan government.

It was the highest daily jump in confirmed cases so far, bringing the number of positive cases in the capital to more than 1,000, NHK said.

Tokyo's metropolitan government has strongly urged people to stay home as the city of 13 million has seen an uptick in the number of cases in recent days.

Greece has quarantined a second migrant facility this week after a 53-year-old man tested positive for coronavirus, the migration ministry said.

The Afghan man, who was found to be infected, lives with his family at the Malakasa camp along with hundreds of other migrants and asylum seekers. He has been transferred to a hospital in Athens. Tests on his contacts will continue as the public health agency tries to trace the route of the virus.


New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says tough social distancing measures are working as the number of infections in the Pacific nation rose above 1,000.

Only one person has died in New Zealand, despite the country recording 1,039 coronavirus cases.

Why are more men dying from coronavirus?

Is COVID-19 a sexist disease? It appears that it may well be, as more men than women are being reported as victims of the virus.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreaks were also found to affect men more significantly.
