Japan extends COVID-19 state of emergency less than two months before Olympics

日 코로나 긴급사태 또 연장…올림픽 한달 앞둔 내달 20일까지 Japan has extended its state of emergency in Tokyo and eight other prefectures for about three weeks. The decision comes less than two months before the start of the Summer Olympics, which many in that country are calling to be canceled or postponed again. Japan's prevention measures mainly focused on asking restaurants that serve alcohol to temporarily close or shut by 8 PM. According to Reuters, the country has recorded roughly 7-hundred-30-thousand coronavirus infections and nearly 13-thousand deaths. Only about 6 percent of its population has been vaccinated. #COVID19 #Japan #emergency 📣 Arirang News(Facebook) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Arirang News(Twitter) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 News Center(YouTube) :    / newscenter_arirangtv   2021-05-28, 22:00 (KST)
