BANGKOK, July 31 (Reuters): The Olympics host city Tokyo, as well as Thailand and Malaysia, announced record Covid-19 infections on Saturday, mostly driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant of the disease.
Cases surged in Sydney as well, where police cordoned off the central business district to prevent a protest against a strict lockdown that will last until the end of August.
