Amid the rapid spread of Corona 19 in Japan, Tokyo Governor Koike pressured the government.
In Tokyo, there were more than 800 new confirmed cases yesterday, following a record high of 1,300 on December 31st.
Governor Koike met with the Minister in charge of Economic Regeneration, Nishimura, who is in charge of the Corona Countermeasures yesterday (on the 2nd) and requested the prompt issuance of the emergency.
Governors of three prefectures in the metropolitan area, Chiba, Saitama, and Kanagawa, also joined the request for an emergency declaration.

Minister Nishimura also said, “We shared the perception that the situation was severe,” and “we will review the request.”

The number of new confirmed cases in Japan, which reached a record high of 4,500 on December 31, came out yesterday (2nd) as well.
The cumulative confirmed cases exceeded 240,000, and the death toll reached 3,580.
Since November of last year, as the rate of spread of corona in Japan has accelerated, there have been criticisms that the emergency should be declared again, but the Suga cabinet has consistently maintained a passive attitude.
It is noteworthy what decision Prime Minister Suga will make as the governor of Tokyo comes out and publicly pressures the Japanese government, who is in trouble with a plunge in approval ratings.
