The Japanese government is planning to issue an emergency with the aim of refraining from going out on the 7th and shortening restaurant business hours, targeting the 1st and 3rd prefectures in the metropolitan area where Corona 19 is rapidly spreading.
The Japanese government issued a corona19 emergency in April to May last year, targeting the whole country or some regions.
The time when the declaration of emergency will take effect is expected to be on the night of the 7th or at 00:00 on the 8th as announced in the official gazette. The period of issuance was delivered in one month.
