Japan on Thursday extended emergency COVID-19 restrictions in Tokyo and other areas until the end of this month to contain infections and prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said when the extension was approved by the advisory panel earlier that despite the decline in new infections and the rise in vaccination rates, there is still a need to support the medical system that is still stretched by severe cases.
“The vaccination work for all those who wish to be vaccinated will be completed in October or November,” Yoshihide Suga told reporters. “From then on, we will be able to relax restrictions by using vaccination certificates or test results.”
Japan has been fighting the fifth wave of the virus and last month extended its long-term containment measures to September 12 to cover approximately 80% of its population.
The number of severe cases in Tokyo and surrounding areas and the pressure on the medical system have not yet eased enough to lift restrictions. These measures will now be extended to September 30 to include Osaka in the west.
Japan’s emergency restrictions mainly focus on requiring restaurants to close early and stop serving alcoholic beverages. Residents are urged to work from home as much as possible and avoid travel.
According to the latest testing and tracking data, in the week ending September 1, a total of 191,431 people in England tested positive for Covid-19 at least once, a decrease of 4% from the previous week.

Young people are “long-term disadvantaged by the pandemic”
A new study shows that children as young as 10 years old believe that this epidemic will change the rest of their lives.
Co-op’s research found that nearly two-thirds of young people said that their generation will be permanently disadvantaged by the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
Two-thirds of people said that the competition for job hunting has intensified and therefore felt “impossible” to find a job, while nearly one-third said that the pandemic made them less likely to continue their studies.
Nearly three-fifths of the interviewees said that the government has failed to satisfy them in dealing with Covid-19.
The cooperative called on the government to consider appointing a youth minister to ensure that young people are actively considered in the decision-making process.
The survey of more than 5,000 adolescents between the ages of 10 and 25 found that half-mathematically-aged children believed that they had fallen behind in the past year, and nearly two-thirds felt the pressure to “catch up” quickly.
