TOKYO -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe decided on Monday to declare a coronavirus emergency, Nikkei has learned, as new cases in the capital increase at a record pace. The government will hold an unofficial meeting of a panel of experts and start preparing for the declaration.
Tokyo and surrounding areas, as well as Osaka, are expected to be affected by the declaration.
Abe met with parties including Health Minister Katsunobu Kato and Yasutoshi Nishimura, the economic and fiscal policy minister, on Sunday to discuss the spread of infections.
"If necessary, we will decide [to declare an emergency] without hesitation," said Nishimura, who heads the government's coronavirus response, on a show of public broadcaster NHK on Sunday. "We are looking for signs of an overshoot," he said, referring to an explosion in cases, and noted that the atmosphere has grown extremely tense.
On the same program, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike called on the central government to issue an emergency declaration promptly.
An emergency declaration gives governors in the areas covered formal powers, such as issuing requests that people stay home. A declaration could come any day now, a cabinet member said Sunday.
The constitution does not permit the government to demand that individuals stay home, owing to civil liberties concerns.
The prime minister is supposed to ask an advisory panel of experts for its opinion before declaring an emergency, in addition to notifying both houses of parliament in advance.
Abe has been criticized for not having already declared an emergency -- a hesitance thought by many to stem from a strong desire to hold the Olympics this summer in Tokyo as originally planned. The International Olympic Committee decided in late March to postpone the games to 2021 after consulting with the prime minister and others.
因为人家没有权利戴医用N95
N95产量多少呢？ 出口了多少？
川胖子又他妈在甩锅了
最可笑的是还有一群轮子ww跟在后面帮腔 tui pi gu，连基本的事实都不顾， 封中必反
我们倒霉只会让我们更恨土工
真是小人之心，中国自己的疫情也才刚刚好转不到一个月，紧急情况下产地禁止出口不是正常的？
别我们我们，您代表您自己就行了
中国需要口罩，那些口罩很多都被土共的狗官，军队征用了。普通医生，护士，劳动人民有几个买得到n95. 把N95给中国医生用，护士用，没问题。但是，情况是怎样，大家心里都清楚。
这是它们的工作，可以理解
这么说华为美国和华为欧洲也是美国和欧洲企业，责令华为交出5g研发资料也是应该的，赶紧把这几个研发部封锁
台湾香港肯定是巴不得
请问如何才能加入组织 整天闲在家 我也想赚点零花钱啊
任何企业都要遵守当地的法律法规，美国有这个规定要外国公司提交研发资料吗
怕死呗
搞笑，出口些不知道哪个乡镇企业的小作坊生产的三五资质的破口罩，卖个奇高的价钱，你还有脸在这里说? 3M那个原材料熔喷布中国为什么不让出口??? 避重就轻谁不会，蒙谁啊？
起诉hoarding.
老邓在当今皇上眼里什么都不是
真知灼见
你们是谁？
嫌不好千万不要用
是安倍脸太大还是口罩太小
一开始不让出口多正常啊，自己火烧眉毛呢。大统领不让出口加拿大和南美不是一个路数么？况且2月底之前美国情况并不严重，自己不抓生产怨谁啊
你好好想想再喷成不？华为在美国有工厂还是有市场？美国不但禁止华为在美国的市场活动，连美国以外的都要管呢
要点脸吧，本来中国就是口罩生产大国，美国本土 产几个口罩？还好意思喷？？？现在自给自足，产能过剩了，才放行的
3m就整口罩吗？脚趾头想想都知道口罩主要是在中国生产，这边的工厂是生产别的，中国垄断了世界上90 percent的口罩生产产能
3M 是美国企业， 启用战时法令当然可以禁止出口。 中国禁止美国的3M产品卖到美国， 不恶心吗？
