It looks like things aren't going too well in Japan and that a vacation trip there has to be put off indefinitely.
Fox News reported:
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is reportedly planning to extend Japan's state of emergency to cover the entire country amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to a report Thursday.
Japan has seen a notable increase in cases in recent weeks, with at least 327 confirmed nationwide on Wednesday, according to Kyodo newswire.
Japan's capital Tokyo recorded at least one-third of those cases. The country has seen a total of 8,626 COVID-19 cases.
Abe previously declared a state of emergency on April 7, for Tokyo, Osaka and five other prefectures which will last until May 6. Those areas account for about 44 percent of the country's population, according to Reuters. Japan has 47 total prefectures.
