Japan has confirmed more than 10,000 daily coronavirus cases for the first time. The nationwide record is fueled by a surge of infections in the capital and surrounding area. That spike has the central government looking to expand the current emergency declaration to include four more prefectures.
Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide said, "The government is dealing with the situation with a strong sense of urgency. At the request of local governments, I decided to call a meeting of experts on Friday to discuss the state of emergency and quasi emergency measures meant to curb the virus's spread."
Tokyo and Okinawa are under a state of emergency, while four other prefectures have less restrictive "quasi-emergency" measures in place.
The government plans to expand the emergency to include Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa and Osaka.
If the plan becomes final, five other prefectures are expected to enter a state of "quasi-emergency."
Under the restrictive measures, restaurants in Hokkaido, Ishikawa, Hyogo, Kyoto, and Fukuoka Prefectures will be urged to stop offering alcohol.
Both types of states of emergency will likely be in effect between August 2 and the end of this month.
Tokyo's case count topped 3,800 on Thursday, continuing a record-breaking upward trend.
One expert within the Metropolitan Government called it an unprecedented, explosive surge.
The head of the government's expert panel is also concerned.
Government advisory panel chief Omi Shigeru said, "Now, there are barely any factors that could curb the number of infections."
Omi warned that Japan's health care system will soon be overwhelmed unless society shares a sense of crisis.

More foreigners have been leaving Indonesia amid a surge in the number of coronavirus infections there, driven by the rapid spread of the Delta variant first detected in India.
Indonesia has confirmed 30,000 to 50,000 coronavirus cases per day this month. It recorded 2,069 deaths on Tuesday, the highest tally in the world on that day.
Officials at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport near the capital Jakarta say fewer than 20,000 foreigners left Indonesia per month from January through May.
However, they say the figure surpassed 20,000 last month, and as of Thursday, there have been 20,215 departures this month.
The officials say 3,320 Japanese nationals flew out of Indonesia so far in July, accounting for the largest proportion of departing foreigners in the month. They add that many people from China, South Korea and the United States also left.
The Japanese Embassy in Jakarta says 13 Japanese in Indonesia died from COVID-19 over a one-month period from late June.
One Japanese expatriate who will leave Indonesia next month said he is worried when the outbreak will subside. He added that he will not be able to return to Indonesia until its health-care system improves.

Toyota Motor says its group sold nearly 5.5 million vehicles globally in the first half of this year.
The number exceeds sales at the Volkswagen group, which earlier announced sales of almost five million vehicles in the same period.
The Toyota group includes Daihatsu and Hino. A record 5.46 million units rolled off dealers' lots from January to June. That's up more than 30 percent from the first half of last year.
The automaker saw higher sales in North America, whose economies have been re-opening as more people get vaccinated against the coronavirus. Growth was also reported in China.
Toyota says it managed to minimize the impact of a global semiconductor shortage.
But surging coronavirus cases in Southeast Asia are weighing on production. Operations have been suspended at Toyota's plants in Thailand since last week.
