The Japanese government on Monday said it will not yet declare another state of emergency despite a recent spike in daily COVID-19 cases in Tokyo and an uptick in infections nationwide.

Japan's top government spokesperson Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a press briefing that the recent spike in cases, particularly in Tokyo, did not necessitate the government issuing a new state of emergency over the virus outbreak at this juncture.

Suga's remarks followed concerns that business closures may be requested again by prefectural governments and restrictions on people's travels across prefectural borders, just recently lifted, may be reimposed.

His remarks were also with regard to the Tokyo metropolitan government on Sunday reporting the highest daily infection tally since the state of emergency was lifted on May 25, at 60 new cases in the capital of 14 million people.

Suga said Monday that the rise in cases in the capital was due to intensive testing of those known to have come into close contact with people already testing positive for COVID-19, as opposed to new infections with no known traceable infection route.

With Japan seeing a daily average of around 100 new infections recently, Suga said the government had no plans as yet to clamp down on the freedom of movement of people and request the public to once again refrain from making unnecessary trips across prefectural borders.

The Thai government's Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) on Monday said short-stay business travelers and guests of the Thailand government from Chinese mainland, China's Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Singapore will be allowed to enter from July 1.

He said the number of inbound travelers will increase as more alternative state quarantine (ASQ) rooms are made available, and the special arrangement will allow entry to groups of no more than 10 people for a short period.

Taweesin said that inbound travelers will be tested for COVID-19 prior to travel and on arrival in Thailand.
