Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced on Monday that the state of emergency declared over the novel Coronavirus crisis is over in Japan, as the spread of the infections is now under control.

Abe lifted the state of emergency that has been in place since April for the Tokyo metropolitan area including Chiba, Kanagawa, and Saitama prefectures, along with Hokkaido in northern Japan that were still under coronavirus restrictions. But he warned that a re-imposition is possible if infections spike.

"I have decided to end the state of emergency across the nation," Abe told a televised press conference. "In just over a month and a half, we almost brought (the infection) situation under control."

"The lifting of the emergency does not mean the virus is gone or infections are down to zero. Our battle against the virus will continue," 

Abe said as health experts call for continued vigilance against a second or third wave of infections.

"If we lower our guard, the infection will spread very rapidly ... we need to be vigilant," he said. "We need to create a new lifestyle; from now on, we need to change our way of thinking."

With the removal of the restrictions imposed under the state of emergency, gradually they'll be reopening the world's third-largest economy and calling on people to adapt to a "new normal".

According to the country's health ministry, 16,628 cases of Coronavirus have been recorded with 851 deaths. While 13,612 people have recovered from the disease so far.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior."

"Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said.
