The total number of confirmed patients, including 712 passengers from Diamond Princess, who have been confirmed to have been infected since the arrival in Yokohama in early February was 15,790.

So far, 549 people have been killed, including 13 cruise ship passengers.

Prime Minister Abe will hold a meeting of the Corona 19 Government Countermeasures Headquarters this afternoon (4th) and decide to extend the nationwide emergency issue period from the 6th to the end of this month for 25 days.

Earlier, Prime Minister Abe declared an emergency in seven metropolitan areas including Tokyo on the 7th of last month and expanded it to the whole country on the 16th.

As a result, requests for outgoing bans and restrictions on the use of box office facilities have been issued throughout Japan.

The Japanese government plans to extend the nationwide emergency period and gradually reopen socio-economic activities on the premise of thorough prevention of infection in areas with less severe infection.
