Mainhichi Shimbun reports on the matter
This comes as virus infections are on the rise in Japan, with Tokyo having reported 711 new cases today - the highest tally since 26 January. The move by the Japanese capital comes after Osaka made a formal decision to request a state of emergency declaration as well after having reported 1,153 new cases yesterday.
The latest virus situation in Japan looks to be threatening economic prospects once again and that's not a good look for how things will shape up in Q2 and 2H 2021 perhaps.
