China News Service, June 17-According to Kyodo News Agency, the new crown emergency declaration issued by 10 prefectures and prefectures will expire on the 20th, and the Japanese government will be able to lift the final coordination on the 16th.
The picture shows the announcement of the extension of the state of emergency being broadcast on a big screen in Tokyo.
According to the report, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and relevant cabinet ministers such as Yasushi Minoru Sonishimura in charge of economic regeneration, Kenhisa Aida Village and other relevant cabinet officials conducted the final stage of consultations.
After reporting to the National Assembly on the 17th, the policy will be decided at a meeting of the Government Response Headquarters.
Yoshihide Suga may hold a press conference to explain.
Among the 10 prefectures, only Okinawa's extension plan is more effective.
Some areas such as Tokyo and Osaka will transition to key measures such as preventing spread.
After consulting with relevant cabinet officials on the declaration and key measures at the official residence on the evening of the 16th, Yoshihide Suga stated to the media that he "will make judgments after hearing expert opinions tomorrow."
He said: "It is a fact that the number of infected people in the country is declining, but the speed is slowing down. In the future, we will continue to promote vaccination and work hard to prevent the epidemic."
The 10 prefectures that issued emergency declarations are Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Okayama, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, and Okinawa.
Officials of the government revealed that not only Tokyo and Osaka, but also Aichi and other places may transition to key measures.
Some people believe that Okayama and Hiroshima will not become the targets of key measures and will be completely lifted.
The three prefectures of Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa in the metropolitan area, and the two prefectures of Gifu and Mie, which are adjacent to Aichi, will be applied.
There are opinions within the government that the three prefectures in the metropolitan area and Tokyo should be considered as one unit, and key measures should be extended.
The two prefectures of Gifu and Mie will determine whether to extend or cancel based on local intentions.
In view of the expansion of the new crown epidemic, the government issued the third emergency declaration on April 25 to the four prefectures of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hyogo.
Since then, six prefectures have been added sequentially as target areas.
