JAPAN: Per RTRS, "Japan's coronavirus experts said it was desirable for the

nation to keep its current framework of coronavirus containment policies until

the number of new infections fell to a certain level, according to Economy

keep strict restrictions in place while others could start to ease them,

Nishimura quoted them as telling a government panel meeting on Friday. Speaking

at a news conference following the meeting, Nishimura also said the government

would hold an advisory committee meeting to decide on the government's policy

before the current state of emergency ends on May 6."
