Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, today announced that the government would declare a state of emergency as soon as Tuesday that would cover 7 of Japans 47 prefectures, including Tokyo and Osaka, as the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak continues to spread in the country. The move will allow affected prefectures to take measures including expropriating private land and buildings and requisitioning medical supplies and food from companies that refuse to sell them.
