On Saturday, Economic Minister for the Japanese government responsible for the economic response to the coronavirus pandemic called off all his public appearance and will instead work from home after he came into contact with a university worker infected with the coronavirus.
The Cabinet Office reported that the Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura already canceled a media briefing and would not attend a separate meeting later in the day.
The office said in a statement that Nishimura had visited a university hospital with a staff member who tested positive for the virus later.
