If an emergency is declared in the capital or anywhere venues are located after July 12, organizers said restrictions will be brought in line with whatever measures are put in place.

The daily tally Sunday rose from the 304 infections reported a week ago and the 351 cases reported June 6.

The discovery comes just over a month before the opening ceremony and amid concerns of another spike in infections once the games begin on July 23.
