Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said he hoped a final decision on the temporary exclusion of western Osaka city as well as Sapporo in northern Japan could be made later in the day. Nishimura said the exclusion would initially be for three weeks, during which there would be a halt of new reservations under the programme.

Suga has been attempting a balancing act of revitalising the hard-hit economy while keeping the spread of the coronavirus under control.
