There’s been a virus cluster in a Japanese care home for infants, with eight children testing positive.
They had been tested after one staff member was confirmed positive.
A spokeswoman at Saiseikai central hospital, which runs the institution, said none of the children were showing major symptoms but they have been taken to hospital.
Japan has more than 11,500 confirmed infections and nearly 300 deaths have been linked to the virus.
