Elsewhere in Asia, India has expanded its mammoth national lockdown to cover about two-thirds of the population, even as the number of confirmed cases remains below 500.
After Hong Kong reported its largest daily jump in new cases a few days ago, Singapore confirmed 54 new cases of the coronavirus on Monday, the city' state's largest daily jump, even after Singapore, HK, Taiwan and a handful of other Asian economies were praised for their efforts to combat the virus.
Even as the number of confirmed cases in Japan remains low - possibly because, as some have noted, close personal contact is often frowned upon in Japanese culture - Tokyo's governor warned on Tuesday that Japan's capital could be placed under lockdown if the number of cases spike.
Although the data from the last two days has been somewhat encouraging, the head of the Civil Protection Agency, the federal agency that has been tasked with reporting the country's daily case totals, said that the total number of infected is likely 10x the official number of cases that have been confirmed.
On Tuesday Australia banned all but essential travel outside of the country after PM Scott Morrison announced similar lockdown measures as the number of cases in the country climbs.
The Arab Gulf states are ramping up enforcement of curfews, quarantine and stay at home edicts as coronavirus cases rise to more than 1,900 in the region.
