Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced to extend the country’s national state of emergency until May 31.

Abe will consider lifting the state of emergency without waiting for its May 31 expiration if experts decide that is possible based on detailed analysis of regional infection trends, he said at the start of a meeting of the government’s coronavirus task force on Monday, reports Reuters.
