		</div><p>Japan has extended its state of emergency in Tokyo and other areas until the end of May.</p>
<p>It comes as the country shows social and political strains with coronavirus spreading ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, which start in 11 weeks.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Tokyo has logged 907 new cases of coronavirus infection, up sharply from 635 when the state of emergency began in the capital last month.</p>
<p>It is far above the target of 100 that some health experts recommend.</p>
<p>Most Japanese oppose hosting the Olympics during a pandemic, while the government seems determined to hold the event.</p>

<p>However, people are growing impatient and less co-operative with restrictions, which could make the measures less effective.</p>
<p>The president of the Tokyo Olympics organising committee, Seiko Hashimoto, said a possible mid-May visit by International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has become more difficult because of the extension of the emergency.</p>
<p>The postponed Olympics from last year are scheduled to held from July 23 to August</p>
