The number of new corona 19 confirmed cases in Japan hit the 5,000 mark for two days in a row.
According to the statistics of local public broadcaster NHK, as of today (22nd) 6:45 pm, there are 5,459 newly confirmed corona19 confirmed cases across Japan.
The number of corona19 confirmed cases in Japan increased from 2,921 on the 19th to 4,340 yesterday and 5,292 yesterday.
The cumulative confirmed cases increased to 552,000,999, and the death toll reached 9,806.
The number of new confirmed cases by region was 1,167 in Osaka, 861 in Tokyo, and 547 in Hyogo.
The Japanese government is planning to issue an emergency situation from the 25th to the 11th of the following month for four metropolitan local governments, including Tokyo and Osaka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Kyoto Prefecture.
Japan's decision to issue a third emergency will be made at the Corona 19 Countermeasure Headquarters meeting on the 23rd.
In this emergency, it is known that measures such as restrictions on restaurant sales and events will be strengthened compared to when it was issued twice in the past.
According to Kyodo News, the Japanese government has come up with an original bill that includes requests for closure of alcoholic beverages serving restaurants as a specific measure following the emergence of an emergency.
When an emergency was issued in April of last year and January of this year, we requested that the business hours be shortened to 8 p.m. without a request to close the restaurant serving alcoholic beverages.
The government's original draft also included a request to hold non-audience events in areas where an emergency is issued, and that public facilities are closed or closed.
