The number of new coronavirus infections (Corona 19) in Japan exceeded 3,000 for six consecutive days.
According to the local public broadcaster NHK on the 4th, the number of confirmed corona19 in Japan on the previous day was 3,158, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 245,924. The death toll was 3,645, an additional 60 people the day before.
As a result, the daily number of new confirmed cases in Japan exceeded 3,000 for six consecutive days from the 29th of last month to the day before. This is the first time that the number of new infected people exceeded 3,000 for six consecutive days since the spread of Corona 19 in Japan began.
The Japanese authorities caught an emergency. Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide is expected to hold a press conference in the morning of this morning to explain the Corona 19 countermeasures. It is noteworthy whether the four heads of metropolitan regional governments, including Koike Yuriko, the governor of Tokyo, Japan, will specifically comment on the re-order of the emergency that the Japanese government has requested.
Prime Minister Suga has always turned away from demands to re-declare the emergency due to concerns about the economic downturn, but Governor Koike and others publicly pressed to issue the emergency, so a difficult decision has to be made.
Asahi Shimbun is a business operator in response to a request from Japan’s Economic Regeneration Officer, Yastoshi Nishimura, that four heads of metropolitan local governments, including Governor Koike, advance the closing time of restaurants from 10 p.m. to 8 p.m. He also told them that they are considering a plan to request this.
