Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced Friday that Japan will consider downgrading Covid-19 to the same category as seasonal influenza this spring.
Kishida stated that he had directed Health Ministry officials to discuss the move, and that his administration would also review rules regarding face masks and other pandemic preparedness measures.
While the number of daily Covid-19 infections in Japan has decreased in recent weeks, the country still faces around 100,000 new infections every day.
