Japan weighs state of quasi-emergency for Tokyo, environs -broadcaster
Japan's government is discussing whether to impose a quasi-state of
emergency in the capital, Tokyo, and surrounding areas this week to
contain a surge in COVID-19 infections, broadcaster FNN said on Monday.
The highly infectious Omicron variant is driving a resurgence in
coronavirus cases, which are hovering near record levels, after new
infections exceeded 25,000 nationwide in the past two days.
Last week, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said the capital would request
measures such as a quasi-emergency if the use of beds allocated for
COVID-19 patients climbed to 20%. On Sunday, the figure was 19.3%.
