		</div><p>Japan’s daily coronavirus cases have exceeded 3,000 for the first time as the government delays stricter measures for fear of hurting the economy ahead of the holiday season.</p>
<p>The 3,030 new cases, including 621 in Tokyo, took Japan’s national tally to 177,287 with 2,562 deaths, the Health Ministry said on Sunday.</p>
<p>Experts say serious cases are on the rise around the country, putting a burden on hospitals and affecting the daily medical treatment for other patients. They urged authorities to take measures such as suspending out-of-town trips and requesting stores to close early.</p>
<p>Recent media surveys show support ratings for the government of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga have dropped about 20 points from around 70% during his first three months in office amid public discontent over his coronavirus handling.</p>
<p>Japan issued a non-binding state of emergency in the spring and has survived earlier infection peaks without a lockdown. Experts say the ongoing resurgence in the dry and cold season would be a bigger challenge.</p>

<p>Elsewhere, South Korea has set another record for its daily coronavirus tally with 1,030, as authorities struggle to suppress the viral spread.</p>
<p>The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said on Sunday the additional cases, including two deaths, raised the national caseload to 42,766, with 580 fatalities.</p>
<p>Around 80% of the new cases were found in the densely populated Seoul area, where authorities have shut nightclubs and other high-risk venues, banned late-night dining and taken other steps to slow the spread. But such measures have shown little effect.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said on Saturday his government may have to enforce its highest-level social distancing rules if the virus did not slow down.</p>
<p>Such restrictions would ban a gathering of more than 10 people, shut down schools, theatres and department stores and suspend professional sports leagues.</p>
