TOKYO: Japan’s citizens should do everything in their power to limit interactions with others by 70 percent to curb the spread of the coronavirus, government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said on Wednesday.
He said the government will consider the request from coalition partner Komeito to hand out 100,000 yen ($933.45) per person after establishing the extra budget to help cushion the blow from the outbreak to households and businesses. ($1 = 107.1300 yen)
