Japan recorded no new coronavirus deaths on Sunday — the first time this has happened since March 6, around the time when the pandemic saw infection rates soar in the country.
A total of 38 new infections were recorded on Sunday, according to the country’s health ministry.
This brings the national total to 17,886 cases and 929 deaths, including the 712 infections and 13 fatalities from the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was docked in quarantine off Yokohama Bay for two weeks in February.
Japan has recorded fewer than 100 new cases per day since May 14.
