JAPAN
TOKYO (Reuters) - The total number of Japanese novel coronavirus infections hit 5,002 on Thursday, NHK public broadcaster said, showing no signs of slowing despite Japan’s move this week to impose a state of emergency on Tokyo and six other areas.
The new cases were reported in nearly all parts of Japan and included at least five police officers in Fujisawa, a city just south of Tokyo, Kyodo news agency said.
Japan declares state of emergency
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared a state of emergency on Tuesday (April 7), giving authorities more power to stop its coronavirus outbreak. It means authorities can do more to pressure people to stay at home and businesses to close, although there are few penalties in most cases. So, enforcement will rely more on peer pressure and respect for authoritiy.
