[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] On the 24th, 726 new cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) were confirmed in Japan.
As of around 8 p.m. that day, according to NHK's tally, the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in Japan rose to 29,689.
Japan's daily COVID-19 cases were 795 on the 22nd and 981 on the 23rd, setting record highs for two consecutive days. Since Japan announces daily case numbers by each of the 47 prefectures, the final number of confirmed cases on that day is likely to increase further.
