Date 3/26/2020 6:14:39 PM

(MENAFN - Gulf Times) Japan, so far spared the mass spread of coronavirus that has hit Europe and North America, took urgent new steps yesterday to respond to what Prime Minister Shinzo Abe described as a 'national crisis following a surge of cases in Tokyo. With 47 new cases reported in the capital, Abe banned entry from 21 European countries and Iran, and set up a new crisis task force a preliminary step towards declaring a state of emergency, although his government said none was planned.
'In order to overcome what can be described as a national crisis, it is necessary for the state, local governments, medical community, and the people to act as one and press ahead with measures against coronavirus infections, Abe said at a task force meeting. He said he had launched the task force under a recently revised law, after receiving a report of a high chance the chance the virus would spread widely.
The daily total of new cases in Tokyo has nearly tripled over the past four days. After meeting Abe yesterday evening, governor Yuriko Koike told reporters that she had requested strong support and that Tokyo would work with the central government on a possible declaration of emergency.
Japan was an early focus of the coronavirus outbreak, and for a time last month a cruise ship docked offshore near Tokyo was the biggest source of infections outside China. But since then Japan has averted the widespread transmission that has seen Europe and North America hit by thousands of new cases per day.
Japanese authorities fear a rise in cases with no known source of infection could signal a bigger new wave. 'I told Prime Minister Abe there is a high risk of coronavirus spreading widely, Health Minister Katsunobu Kato told reporters after meeting Abe and Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura.
As of yesterday evening, Japan had 1,369 domestic cases of coronavirus, as well as 712 from the cruise ship, according to tallies from broadcaster NHK. There have been 46 domestic deaths and 10 from the cruise ship. Under a law revised this month to cover the coronavirus, the prime minister can declare a state of emergency if the disease poses a 'grave danger to lives and if its rapid spread threatens serious economic damage.
