Tokyo's number of new COVID-19 cases jumped to 195 on Sept. 24 after staying under 100 for the past three days, according to the metropolitan government.
The tally topped 100 for the first time since Sept. 20, when 162 new cases were reported.
The lower number of new cases from Sept. 21 to Sept. 23 could be due to less testing over the long weekend, one official said.
Of the 195 new cases, 53 patients, the highest number, were in their 20s, followed by 38 in their 30s, 32 in their 40s, and 27 in their 50s.
Thirteen were between age 10 and 19, while 11 were in their 60s. Seven were under age 10.
Five were in their 70s and another five in their 80s. The remaining four were in their 90s.
Government officials said the number of serious cases, those on ventilators or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, also known as an ECMO lung bypass machine, was 28, the same as the day before.
