While no official decision has been made, the announcement puts the country on notice that should the situation not improve, a state of emergency will be reintroduced to at least some regions. With the rate of COVID-19 infections increasing at a concerning rate in areas including Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido, should a state of emergency be reintroduced it will be the first time since May 25 2020. We will update this page should any further announcement be made.

    Nov 24 2020: news outlet Bloomberg has released a report into the countries which have handled COVID-19 most efficiently with the least disruption to daily life and their economies.  Ranking 53 countries with economies of over $200 billion on 10 metrics including the overall spread of the virus, mortality rate, the capacity of the health system and affect on the economy, the research ranked New Zealand first,  Japan second and Taiwan third – a notable achievement in a country of around 126 million, compared to New Zealand’s 5 million and Taiwan’s 24 million. The report cites Japan’s previous handling of tuberculosis outbreaks and existing facilities and contact tracing which have been effectively redeployed to tackle COVID-19. It also cites Japan’s high levels of social trust and general compliance of its people in following health advice regarding social distancing, general behaviour and use of personal protection equipment such as masks.
