Tokyo logged 108 newly confirmed novel coronavirus infections on Oct. 4, the first time in six days for the count to fall below the 150 mark, metropolitan health officials said.
The last time the count dropped closer to that level was on Sept. 28, when 78 new infections were registered.
It normally takes about three days for the results of polymerase chain reaction tests to be confirmed and compiled by the Tokyo metropolitan government.
Of the 108 new patients, 31 were in their 20s, the largest age group, followed by 21 in their 40s, 15 in their 50s and 14 in their 30s. Patients aged 65 or older totaled 15.
