The emergency situation in the metropolitan area takes effect tomorrow… Possibility of expanding the target area
(Tokyo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Ho-joon = The number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Japan is rapidly increasing.
According to a local public broadcaster’s NHK count, 7,533 newly confirmed corona19 infections across Japan by 8:45 pm on the 7th.
Japan’s Corona 19 confirmed one day broke the record for the third day after 4,915 people on the 5th and 6,1 people on the previous day.
The cumulative confirmed cases increased to 267,000,679.
On this day, the number of new confirmed cases by region was 2,447 in Tokyo, 679 in Kanagawa, 607 in Osaka, 460 in Saitama, 450 in Chiba, and Aichi. (Ai Shi) 431 people were the most.
The Japanese government announced that it would issue an emergency situation from the 8th of this month to the 7th of the following month targeting four metropolitan local governments where the number of confirmed cases is exploding.
Target areas are Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba Prefecture. New corona19 confirmed cases in these regions account for about half of Japan’s total.
Governor Yuriko Koike of Tokyo, with the largest number of confirmed cases, said at a press conference immediately after the Japanese government declared an emergency on the day that the situation of corona 19 infection in Tokyo was “crisis and serious” and “the measure is to stop the movement of people” .
Depending on the spread of Corona 19 in Japan, there is a possibility that areas subject to emergency situations will expand.
Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura of the Osaka Department said on the day that in response to the spread of Corona 19, “the idea is to ask the government to declare an emergency.”
Governor Hideaki Omura of Aichi prefecture also told a press conference the day before that if the spread of infection in the prefecture continues, “there is no choice but to ask the government to add it to the target of an emergency declaration.”
