In Japan, the emergency mode was extended due to the spread of a new type of coronavirus infection. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made a proposal to extend the regime until May 31, 2021, and members of the government's advisory committee approved this proposal. The Minister for Economic Recovery issued a statement on the extension of restrictive measures to the journalists of the NHK TV channel.
The emergency regime was originally introduced on April 8, 2021 in Tokyo and nearby prefectures. These restrictions also affected the islands of Kyushu and Fukuoka. Then, by a decision of the Japanese government, a restrictive regime was introduced throughout the country, and it was supposed to last until May 6.
Restrictive measures in Japan have been introduced to reduce the spread of coronavirus by reducing contact between people, especially during national holidays.
More than 15,000 cases of infection with a new coronavirus infection have been detected on the territory of the Japanese state, of which more than 300 are in serious condition, and 549 deaths.
The level of contacts between people was reduced by 80%, which is a very important factor in the interruption of the infectious link.
