PM Suga: Tokyo's Healthcare System In Critical Condition

JAPAN

In the clearest sign yet that PM Yoshihide Suga may be forced into implementing more stringent COVID-19 restrictions in the Japanese capital, he stated today that Tokyo's healthcare system is in 'critical condition'. Says that people should restrict their movement as much as possible, and that the government will 'strive to restrain the flow of people in commercial facilities'.

  • Comes as the city reports 5,773 new cases, a record high and exceeding last Friday's total of 4,515.
  • According to Ourworldindata, 36.3% of Japanese citizens are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with an additional 12.1% having had one dose.
  • The state of emergency measures present in numerous prefectures at present remain much more lax than those lockdown restrictions that have been present in Europe, North America, and Australia in recent days, weeks and months.
