According to a report by Japan’s Kyodo News Agency on the 2nd, on December 31, last year (2020), the number of new cases of COVID-19 in one capital and three counties in the capital circle showed the largest increase since the beginning of the epidemic.

In order to control the spread of the epidemic and the flow of people, the governors of the four places asked the government to issue a declaration of emergency as soon as possible to prevent the epidemic. It has developed into an uncontrollable situation.
