Coronavirus | Japan PM says to add three western prefectures to state of emergency -Kyodo
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told a meeting of ruling party executives on Tuesday (Jan. 12) that he would declare a state of emergency for the three western prefectures of Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo to stem the spread of COVID-19, Kyodo news reported.
Responding to pressure from Tokyo and three neighboring prefectures in eastern Japan, Suga last week declared a state of emergency for the greater metropolitan area.
