Abe to declare sate of emergency for Tokyo, 6 prefecture
TOKYOーJapan is to impose a state of emergency in Tokyo and six other prefectures from Wednesday to try to stop the coronavirus, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Monday night.
The sate of emergency, which will be officially declared on Tuesday, applies Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Osaka, Hyogo and Fukuoka prefecture.
More than 3,500 people have tested positive for the coronavirus in Japan and 85 have died - not a huge outbreak compared with some hot spots. But the numbers keep rising with particular alarm over the spread in Tokyo, which has more than 1,000 cases, including 83 new ones on Monday.
