Japan’s new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) also set a record for the number of deaths per day.
According to the statistics of local public broadcaster NHK on the 3rd, the number of newly confirmed corona19 deaths across Japan on the 2nd was 119. This is the record of the most deaths per day (113 people) set on the 28th of last month in five days. The cumulative death toll of Corona 19 in Japan has risen to 5965.
In addition, there were 2324 new corona19 confirmed cases across Japan on the 2nd. Accordingly, the cumulative confirmed cases increased to 390,4799.
Earlier, in response to the spread of Corona 19, the Japanese government was urgent to refrain from going out to seven metropolitan local governments including Osaka Prefecture from the 14th of the same month from the 8th of last month to four metropolitan local governments such as Tokyo and shortening restaurant business hours. Each issue was issued.
Initially, the deadline for issuance of an emergency was until the 7th of this month, but the Japanese government extended the deadline for issuance to the 7th of the following month for 10 regions excluding Tochigi prefecture among 11 regional governments.

On the other hand, the Japanese government is turning to the so-called plan to host the so-called non-audience as observations spread that it would be difficult to hold the Olympics as the emergency situation prolonged.
On the 2nd, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said at a press conference held at the Japanese Prime Minister’s residence on the occasion of the decision to extend the Corona 19 emergency, “As for the audience, I would like to consider making it a safety and safety contest as the top priority while taking into account the domestic and overseas infection situation ”He showed the possibility that holding a non-audience would be an option in the future.
If the Olympics are canceled, the political situation is expected to enter a critical phase, such as Suga’s resignation or the dissolution of the House of Representatives. The Suga regime stood at the edge of a cliff that had to break through the crisis by preventing the worsening of the situation.
