A residential-care facility inTokyo for babies and toddlers on Wednesday reported eight cases of coronavirus infections, SIA reports.

One staff member at the institution had tested positive for the virus on April 16, prompting a test of its residents, Kyodo News said. None of the eight children who tested positive were showing major symptoms such as a fever, Kyodo said.
