TOKYO — The U.S. military in Japan tallied another 13 coronavirus cases Friday as the nation coped with a surge in new infections in Tokyo and on Okinawa — areas with a significant military presence.

U.S. Army Japan announced three new cases, Yokota Air Base and Yokosuka Naval Base both reported two and Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni reported one. On Okinawa, the Marine Corps announced three new infections at Camp Courtney and the Air Force reported two at Kadena Air Base.
Many of those patients were already in quarantine as new arrivals or because they’d had contact with another infected person.
