Japan was on the Australian news last night. Reporters were explaining

the “state of emergency” in Tokyo and surrounding areas. There were still many people walking around the city streets. What is everyone advised to do during this emergency? Then there is the matter of the Olympics. Take care everyone.

Thank you! As you know the state doesn’t mean lockdown. The government has declared a state of emergency and citizens are asked to refrain from making non-essential outings.

Since Japan can't be locked down by Japanese law, the country can only call attention to the people. Only careful people don't go out unnecessarily. I pray for each other's safety !!
