Six places including Tokyo and Okinawa Prefecture are in a state of emergency, and five places including Hokkaido and Kyoto Prefecture have implemented key epidemic prevention measures. Yoshihide Suga was cautious about implementing a state of emergency throughout the country. He told the media in Hiroshima on the 6th: “We need to consider the local situation, and localities can take measures on their own.”

When asked whether the recent spread of the epidemic is related to the Tokyo Olympics, Yoshihide Suga replied: “The flow of people in the Tokyo business district has not increased compared to before the opening of the Olympics… At this stage I don’t think the Olympics have caused the spread of the epidemic.”
