TOKYO, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- Japan on Wednesday declared a COVID-19 quasi-state of emergency for Tokyo, neighboring Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa and 9 other prefectures, as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has been spreading rapidly in these areas.

The measures will take effect from Friday to Feb. 13, lasting for around three weeks. Enditem
