TOKYO: Japan is encouraging the regional government to take its own countermeasures in the face of a new variant of coronavirus that has pushed cases to record levels, but there are no plans for drastic national measures.
A seventh wave of Covid-19 brought the daily number of new cases in Japan to a record 233,094 on Thursday as the BA. 5 variant of the virus spreads, putting pressure on healthcare and disrupting the company’s operations in some places.
Japan has never imposed national closures in other countries, periodically asking other people to stay at home as much as possible and restricting the opening hours of restaurants and bars.
Deputy Chief Cabinet Deputy Secretary Seiji Kihara reiterated this today and said the regional government adapts its reaction to their express situations.
“Instead of a national response, we need the regional government’s efforts to be based on their local situations,” Kihara said.
