According to local public broadcaster NHK, 3,447 new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in Japan were identified by 8 pm.
The death toll increased by 25 to 9,351.
The number of new confirmed cases in Japan per day exceeded 3,000 for two consecutive days.
After recording 3,339 people on January 30, when an emergency was in effect in 11 metropolitan local governments nationwide, the number remained below 3,000 and reached 3,451 the day before, raising the number to 3,000 in 67 days.
