According to NHK Broadcasting, the number of newly confirmed corona19 infections across Japan on the 30th was 3345 (as of 8:00 pm), including 769 in the Tokyo area.
As the number of new confirmed cases exploded in the new year, the Japanese government entered into force an emergency to curb the floating population on January 8 in four metropolitan areas including Tokyo with a one-month deadline until February 7.
As a result of this, the number of new confirmed cases per day, which reached the highest level of 7800 on the day of the emergency, turned to a decreasing trend.
On the 14th, the Japanese government is planning to decide during the next week whether to extend the expiration date extended to seven metropolitan areas including Osaka.
In this regard, Kyodo News Agency predicted that it will be extended from three weeks to one month in the metropolitan area and Osaka area, which are the same living areas, and whether to cancel it will be decided according to the infection situation in other areas.
The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Japan increased to 388,000 on that day, and the number of deaths increased by 91 to 5,701.
Meanwhile, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced that five men and women in their 40s to 60s in Tokyo and Saitama prefectures were newly infected with the mutant virus found in the UK. Among them, three infected people in Saitama Prefecture were found to be coworkers and clients of men who had already been diagnosed with infection.
Japanese authorities are investigating to confirm additional infected people, as a group (cluster) of mutant virus infections occurred in the workplace.
