TOKYO: The Japanese government formally decided Thursday to lift its COVID-19 pre-emergency measures entirely when they expire Monday.

Currently, the pre-emergency measures are in place in 18 prefectures: Hokkaido, Aomori, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Ishikawa, Gifu, Shizuoka, Aichi, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Kagawa and Kumamoto.
