       Tokyo, April 11 (Teng Xue, People's Daily Online) As the COVID-19 situation in Japan becomes increasingly severe, with the support of the Chinese Embassy in Japan, Chinese enterprises in Japan have actively donated masks and other epidemic prevention materials to overseas Chinese and students in Japan, and held online lectures on epidemic prevention and control knowledge, taking practical actions to care for and support their compatriots in Japan in fighting the epidemic. On April 10th, the Tokyo Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China urgently allocated 2,000 medical masks and donated them to Chinese students studying in Japan to alleviate the shortage of medical supplies among the student group.

On the 7th, the Japanese government issued a "state of emergency declaration" for seven prefectures and cities including Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, Hyogo and Fukuoka. Shops and facilities in these areas have successively closed down, greatly increasing the sense of crisis in people's lives. This has also had a significant impact on the normal work and life of overseas Chinese, students and others in Japan. Among them, due to the shortage of masks in Japan, the safety and health protection of the international student group has received widespread attention.
