the state of emergency in

The districts of Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama have requested the extension beyond the planned end date on March 7, as the numbers have not yet fallen sufficiently.

Tokyo reported

279

cases

on Thursday

, up from a record high of

Worldwide, more than

2.5 million

people

have now died as a

result of Covid 19 disease.

According to Amnesty International, at least

17,000

health workers were

among the dead

.

"It is not only tragic but also unjust that every

30 minutes

a health worker dies of Covid-19," said Steve Cockburn, head of economic and social human rights at the human rights organization on Friday.

Far too many would have had to work unprotected “and paid with their lives for it”.
