TOKYO, July 16 (Reuters) - Japan’s benchmark Nikkei share average fell below the psychologically key 28,000 mark on Friday as tech shares tracked declines on Wall Street overnight, while a continued surge in coronavirus infections dented investor sentiment.
New COVID-19 infections leapt to 1,308 cases in Tokyo on Thursday, the highest since January, a week before the city hosts the Olympics, which could potentially spark a renewed surge in infections amid the influx of foreign athletes and officials.
“New cases have already surpassed the peak of the fourth wave in May, and we could see the number rising above the January peak,” said Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.

TOKYO, July 15 (Reuters) - Japanese stocks sank on Thursday, dragged by caution ahead of corporate earnings season and a surge in COVID-19 cases a week before the Tokyo Olympics get underway.
The Nikkei share average dropped 0.9% to 28,343.83 by the midday break, with the broader Topix sliding about the same margin to 1,946.37.
Tokyo reported 1,149 new infections on Wednesday, the most since mid-January, despite a new state of emergency that began on Monday and runs through Aug. 22. Many worry that the influx of foreign athletes and Olympic officials could also trigger another surge in cases.
“Infections are still going up, and the Olympics is just about to start, which is making investors cautious,” said Masahiro Ichikawa, chief market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management.
