Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe extended the emergency to respond to Corona 19 on 4 until the end of this month. Considering the spread of infection and medical conditions, it was decided to continue with the emergency measures that were scheduled to end on day 6 for 25 days. This is in contrast to how Korea, which implemented a high intensity social distance ahead of Japan, is returning to daily life and restoring everyday life.
At the Corona 19 Countermeasures Headquarters meeting held in the Prime Minister’s Office this afternoon, Prime Minister Abe decided to extend the emergency, saying that “the number of newly infected people has not been reduced sufficiently, and there are some areas where the medical system is under pressure. ” “We need to be prepared for a long-term war until the launch of the Corona 19 vaccine and treatment,” he said at a press conference that followed. Prime Minister Abe apologized saying “it is heartbreaking” that the emergency could not be done as originally planned. The press conference was held for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
As the emergency spreads, measures to refrain from leaving, teleworking, and closing nonessential workplaces in 13 “ specific border areas ” with many people confirmed by corona19, including Tokyo and Osaka, will continue until the end of this month. . For 34 other local governments, restrictions are gradually lifted on the premise of measures to prevent the spread of infection. Previously, the Japanese government declared an emergency to seven regions on the 7th of last month, and expanded it to the entire country on the 16th.
Prime Minister Abe said: “Next month is the period for emergencies.” If it is determined to be possible, I want to lift the emergency without waiting for the deadline. Yasushi Nishimura, Director of Economic Rehabilitation, which oversees the Japanese government’s Crown 19 measures, also attended the National Assembly the same day. Said.
As of this day, the cumulative number of corona19 in Japan exceeded 1.5900. The number of confirmed new patients per day, which shot up to 700 units in the middle of last month, dropped to 100 units, and this month slightly increased to 200 ~ 300 units. In particular, in Tokyo and Osaka, the number of patients who do not know the path of infection is increasing, and quarantine authorities are nervous.
Diagnostic tests are said to remain insufficient due to the decisive reason that the Japanese government failed to reduce the number of people infected and led to the extension of the emergency. The Yomiuri Shimbun analyzed 100 corona19 deaths in Tokyo and Osaka and found that it took an average of 8.7 days to die after being diagnosed with an infection. Fifty out of every 100 people died within 7 days of confirmation, and nine of them died the same day they were diagnosed with infection. “The need for rapid detection and treatment for critically ill patients has arisen,” the newspaper said. Ji Ji’s communication said it would take up to 10 days to obtain a corona19 diagnostic test in Osaka.
Some voices have also opposed the Japanese government’s decision to extend the emergency measures. Yoshimura Hirofumi, governor of Osaka, said: “If the economy stops completely, bankruptcy and unemployment problems will occur.” If the country does not make an exit strategy, it will create a model separate from Osaka. “In response, the Nishimura Economic Rehabilitation Prize said:” If it is deemed necessary to protect people’s lives, it is inevitable to consider introducing sanctions.
