In a situation where the spread does not subside, the Japanese government will issue an emergency situation in three areas in the Kansai region including Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo from the 14th following the metropolitan area such as Tokyo. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is expected to announce an emergency issue in three regions including Osaka after an expert meeting on the 13th.
In addition to these regions, Aichi Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture are also requesting an emergency declaration from the central government, and the applicable areas are expected to continue to expand.
