Japan, 1,000 new cases on the third day… Extended emergency situation in the metropolitan area

Japan’s new corona 19 confirmed cases have remained at the 1,000 mark for the third day.

According to NHK Broadcasting, on the 5th, the number of newly confirmed corona19 infections across Japan was totaled at 1,148.

The number of daily confirmed cases in Japan has been below the 1,000 mark for three consecutive days since the 28th of last month, but from the 3rd of this month it has risen to 1,000.

As a result, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 438,000,573, and the number of deaths increased by 55 in a single day to 8,211.

About 60% of new confirmed cases came from metropolitan areas such as Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba, where emergency situations are in effect from January 8th this year.

The Japanese government held a meeting of the Corona 19 Countermeasure Headquarters headed by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga that evening, and decided to extend the emergency declared as a deadline until the 7th in four metropolitan areas until the 21st of this month by two more weeks.

Meanwhile, American bio company Moderna applied for approval of the use of the Corona 19 vaccine to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on this day through Takeda Pharmaceutical Industries, which is in charge of supply in Japan.

In Japan, the Pfizer vaccination, after the approval process, began on the 17th of last month, and the approval review for the AstraZeneca vaccine is ongoing.

The Japanese government signed a contract with Modena, the third global pharmaceutical company, to receive a total of 50 million vaccines, including 40 million doses by the end of June and 10 million doses by the end of September.
