In the capital Tokyo, five new cases were reported on Sunday — that’s the lowest since the city was placed under a state of emergency on April 7. The total number of cases recorded in Tokyo has reached 5,050.

Across the country, 28 new coronavirus cases and five deaths were recorded on Sunday, Japan’s health ministry said.

The total number of reported cases in Japan is 16,844, with 712 from the Diamond Princess cruise ship. The number of Covid-19-related deaths is 762, with 13 from the cruise liner.

Japan’s restrictions: Tokyo, Osaka, and six urban prefectures remain a under state of emergency. The government will assess their status on May 21, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said last week as he announced the lifting of emergency measures for 39 of 47 prefectures.
