A market official said, ``The Chinese government has eased the infection control measures for the new corona, and the infection has spread rapidly, causing the infection to spread to other countries and causing confusion in the supply chain from factories in China. Investors are increasingly concerned about a global economic slowdown, and sell orders have surged. Attention is focused on whether the transaction can be completed at the 26,000 yen level."
