While Japan has reported the kind of volume of COVID-19 cases as we've seen in South Korea, Italy, Iran, and a growing host of European nations - in recent days they have seen a noticeable spike in cases.
Over the past 5 days Japan has reported 204 new cases, with 33 of those coming from today's report.
Earlier today we also learned of Japan's 7th domestic fatality (excluding those from the Diamond Princesses), involving a man in his 80s who lived in Nagoya. According to the report, he was transported to emergency services yesterday, and subsequently died.
