Japan will formally decide as early as Monday whether to extend its nationwide state of emergency, public broadcaster NHK reported, as experts said current containment policies should be kept in place until the number of new infections fell further.

The outbreak and slowdown in business activities is already darkening the outlook for the world’s third-biggest economy, sparking calls for more spending even after parliament approved an extra budget to fund a $1.1 trillion stimulus package. The government will make a formal decision on the state of emergency as soon as Monday after convening a meeting of experts on the virus, NHK said on Friday, without citing sources.
Abe initially declared the emergency on April 7, for Tokyo and several other prefectures after a jump in infections, and later extended it nationwide.
