New coronavirus infections reached their peak in mid-April in Japan at more than 500 a day, leading the government to declare a state of emergency on 16 April, though the restrictions were less strict than those of other countries.

日本新冠肺炎新增确诊人数在四月中旬达到了一个高峰，每日新增确诊人数超过500人，迫使政府在4月16日宣布进入全国紧急状态，不过限制措施不像其他国家那么严格。

The stay-at-home measures affected suicide prevention organisations, with about 40% of them either shut down or working reduced hours, leading to worries about vulnerable people.

居家令对自杀干预机构造成了影响，其中约40%的机构或是关门，或是缩短工作时间，引发人们对脆弱人群的担忧。

Amid the decline in suicide of recent years, there has been an increase among children, with bullying and other problems at school a frequently cited cause. The start of the academic year, in April in Japan, is a particularly stressful time for some, but its postponement due to the pandemic may have saved lives, at least temporarily.

近年来尽管自杀率下降了，但是儿童自杀率却升高了，校园欺凌和其他校园问题导致的自杀案件频发。四月份日本新学期开始的时间是某些人压力特别大的时候，但是疫情导致的延期开学可能拯救了一些生命，至少暂时如此。
