Tokyo (CNN) – A part of Japan may enter emergence this week while the country suffers from an increase in coronavirus cases, varying degrees it has been associated with a potentially more potent new infection.
At a press conference on New Year’s Monday, the Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihide Suga, said that he was considering a declaration of emergence and that he was applying to Tokyo and the three prefectures of Chiba, Saitama and Kanagawa prefectures. The governors of the four regions have agreed to sue him, saying he will increase the cases.
“If necessary, we will not send the medical staff of the Fuerzas de Autodefensa”, added Suga. Dijo that the governor supports the medical facilities to ensure that they do not fall asleep.
Suga does not indicate when Tomaría the governor made a decision or what restrictions could be announced. The first state of emergency in Japan, declared the first step, relatively temperate in the pandemic, lasted more than a month and led to the closure of schools and business events.
Japanese authorities are currently limited in their powers to impose restrictions on women, including in an emerging state, as, according to information, the Suga plan governs to allow local governors to comply with the mediations.
First Minister of Japan, in trouble over pandemic
The Prime Minister, who took power in September following the revelation of Shinzo Abe, has seen his index of approval in the last weeks, due in part to the maneuver of the pandemic.
Domingo, Japan registered 3,150 new cases and 51 deaths, raising the national total to 244,559 contagios and more than 3,600 casualties. The region of Gran Tokyo has been among the most affected, with 816 new cases the domingo has since the juvenile passed recorded a new record in a single day of 1,337.
Japan confirmed its first cases of the new variant of coronavirus of the United Kingdom, potentially more infectious, last week, which led the governor to ban the entry of all foreign travelers.
All cases in the country have been highlighted in the last few weeks, in part, in the free climate of winter and the poverty of social distance.
Japan is one of the first countries affected by the pandemic, but the governing body has to maintain the case by means of the promotion of strict frontal controls, inviting efforts in the contact area and prescribing them in practice. The esfuerzos habían tenido a large exit and Japan había logrado avoid the type of strict confinement decreed in other parts of the world.
«Lent and confused response»
Japanese health workers have been constantly pushing citizens to reduce their diary activities, continue vigilantes and stay alone in small groups, but this will not be enough to stop the spread of the pandemic.
“Japan’s response is slow and confusing, reflecting the lack of leadership and strategy. For a lad, alentaron to carry out national journeys and to do, for another, simply help the people who are careful “, said Kenji Shibuya, director of the Institute of Health of the Population at the King’s College de Londres. “Basically, the governing body pays for the people who behave correctly in a voluntary manner, but does not do more than that.”
Suggest the decision to declare the state of emergency in November, citing the opinion of a panel of assessors that hospitals should be relatively vacant. Without embarrassment, the total number of cases in Japan has more than doubled since then.
It is believed that Japanese officials are reluctant to introduce a brand in other emerging markets to boost the economy. The country is also facing more difficult decisions in the Olympic Games, which will take place in the past, so that it will finally be possible for the pandemic to be extended throughout the world.
What happened to the Olympic Games?
The Tokyo Games are scheduled to be celebrated from July 23 to August 8, 2021, according to the International Olympic Committee, with reduced opening and closing ceremonies with a “General Simplification of the Games”.
It is allowed that foreign spectators assist the Olympic Games and the series will be resolved in the first months of this year.
The success of the Olympic Games will probably depend on the speed with which the evacuation schemes can be implemented all over the world, if at all in Japan. The vacancy programs will not be launched in Japan until the final of February, only for other countries. At the Monday Press Conference, Suga said that first-line medical workers and senior adults will take the first groups to receive vacancies. Agregó que el gobierno había adelantado el chronograma debido al ultimo brote.
Without embargo, the Japanese authorities also tend to suffer with what is hoped to be a generalized antipathy to receiving the vaccine: Japan finds “between countries with lesser confidence in the vaccines of the world”, according to a recent study by The Lancet.
Suga has promised to “take the initiative” in the evacuation and give the moons that one Olympic Games will serve as “proof that human beings have killed the coronavirus”.
