China News Service, September 28. According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), the Japanese government held a countermeasure headquarters meeting on the new crown epidemic prevention measures on the afternoon of September 28. It officially decided to expire on September 30 and complete on October 1. The emergency declarations in 19 prefectures have been lifted, and key measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic in 8 prefectures.
Japan’s Kyodo News reported that this is a judgment based on the decrease in the number of new infections and the improvement in the level of medical emergency.

The Minister of Economic Regeneration of Japan, Yasumi Nishimura, emphasized that in order to prevent the winter epidemic from expanding again, he will work to maintain and strengthen the medical delivery system.
He said, "Assuming there is a tendency to expand again, including the application of key measures to prevent spread, necessary measures will be taken flexibly."
