Chief Cabinet Secretary “Adjusted to telephone talks with Prime Minister Abe WHO Secretary-General” March 30, 19:12

At a press conference in the afternoon, Secretary-General Kan Kan revealed on Friday evening that Prime Minister Abe and WHO Secretary-General Tedros of the World Health Organization were making arrangements to meet by telephone.

"I understand that Tedross's request was for the telephone talks. It is worthwhile to communicate with the WHO's chief executive as the spread of infection continues."

A reporter asked if a telephone call with Tedross could be a factor in determining a state of emergency, but said that it had nothing to do with a state of emergency or so-called lockdown. .
