As a countermeasure against the new corona virus, the government has decided to add eight prefectures, Hokkaido, Miyagi, Gifu, Aichi, Mie, Shiga, Okayama, and Hiroshima, to the target areas of the state of emergency, and informed the ruling party.

The deadline is the same as the target area so far, and the policy is to be until the 12th of next month.
