COVIDiaries Japan

Tokyo continues to break records for infections, with yesterday's tally at 143, the second straight day above 100, and over 200 nationwide.

The prime minister is expected to announce a state of emergency by Wednesday. Just what that will entail remains to be seen. Legally, authorities are unable to enforce restrictions on movement.

The central government has announced it will offer direct cash payments of 300,000 yen to those whose annual income is 3 million yen or less (approx. 27,000 USD).
