PM Abe suggests that a declaration of emergency not required at this exact moment in time but is quoted by NHK as saying (my translation) “We are truly in a state of nationwide disaster (国難) such as Japan has not experienced since the war.” https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20200401/amp/k10012362061000.html?__twitter_impression=true …
