Corona 19 is spreading greatly in Japan.
According to NHK, a Japanese public broadcaster on the 6th local time, there were 4,915 new confirmed cases in Japan yesterday.
This is the highest number since Corona 19 began to spread in Japan.
The previous record was 4,520 on the 31st of last month.
The number of people who died a day was 76, the highest ever.
Up to now, there are 253,440 people infected with Corona 19 in Japan.
Of these, 3,756 died.
The Japanese government said it would decide to declare an emergency tomorrow (7th).
Targets are Tokyo, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, and Kanagawa Prefecture.
Emergency situations will focus on reducing the risk of infection at the dining area.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga instructed Yastoshi Nishimura, Minister of Finance and Renewal, and Minister of Welfare, Labor and Welfare, Tamura Norihisa, to hurry to make final adjustments.
Regarding specific measures and details, we plan to seek opinions from an advisory committee composed of infection experts, and then declare an emergency.
However, it is pointed out on social media that the announcement of the emergency is too late.
In fact, Japan has shown signs of spread since mid-November last year, with confirmed cases in the early and mid-2,000 people.
However, Prime Minister Suga responded with procrastination, such as a decision to discontinue’Struggle Travel’, a campaign to encourage domestic travel, only in mid-December.
One Japanese criticized through social media, saying, “I want to declare an emergency to the incompetence of politicians,” and “I’m talking about an emergency now.”
Another Japanese said, “Don’t do anything about it, and when you block it, you should definitely block it,” and “I think we should go short-term.”
