Tokyo, April 16 (RHC)-- In Japan, a team of medical experts predicts 400,000 people could die from COVID-19 across Japan unless strong measures are taken to stop the spread of the disease.  The findings, commissioned by Japan’s Health Ministry, come as Japan still has no stringent lockdown measures in place. 

Last week, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared a state of emergency and asked citizens to voluntarily maintain social distancing, though many retail outlets remain open. 

Japan has confirmed more than 8,000 cases and 162 deaths from COVID-19.
