were 795 new corona confirmed patients per day across Japan yesterday.

It is the largest number of confirmed people in the day since the corona crisis began.

As a result, the cumulative number of infected people in Japan has reached close to 28,000.

Tokyo had 238 people, over 10,000 people with cumulative infections, and double-digit confirmers from metropolitan prefectures around Tokyo, including 68 in Kanagawa, 62 in Saitama, and 40 in Chiba.

In addition, Osaka has the highest number of people in 121, and 64 people have been confirmed in Aichi Prefecture, where Nagoya is located, and infections are spreading rapidly mainly in large cities and surrounding areas.

Despite this situation, the Japanese government started a policy of encouraging travel to subsidize domestic travel expenses up to half.

From today, it is about to save the game for the four-day holiday and summer vacation, but there are concerns about whether this is the case.

The Japanese government has also decided to enter into consultations with the authorities to resume traffic for business purposes in 12 countries and regions, including Korea, China and Taiwan.
