TOKYO (Reuters): As Japan prepares to ease coronavirus restrictions in some parts of the country, a growing number of the country's businesses were planning to resume operations after month-long shutdowns have brought economic activity to a grinding halt.
Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said on Friday that the government was looking at ways to bring some parts of the country out of lockdown measures as infections in several regions outside main centres were reporting zero infections on a daily basis.
After lockdown measures led to a record contraction of Japan's services sector last month, businesses have been resuming operations even as the coronavirus epidemic has sapped consumer demand.
