  • Here are the latest developments from Asia related to the coronavirus pandemic: Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe extended a state of emergency until the end of May, warning it was too soon to begin relaxing restrictions. But Abe said a review of the situation would be conducted in about two weeks, and the measures could be lifted before the end of the month if new infections slow sufficiently. And he implied that there would be no further extension of the emergency, saying May would be the month when the country "presses towards the exit". Malaysians started slowly returning to their offices, cars were on the roads in greater numbers and joggers enjoyed runs outside for the first time in weeks, after the easing of a strict virus lockdown. Most businesses have been allowed to reopen as long as employees practise social distancing, but environments where people could come into close contact -- such as cinemas -- must stay closed for now. Hong Kong suffered its worst quarterly contraction since modern records began as the coronavirus outbreak hammered an economy already mired in recession from political unrest and trade war woes. The financial hub is now experiencing its third-straight quarter of negative growth -- its longest financial downturn since the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crash. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will join an Australian leaders' meeting to discuss a "trans-Tasman bubble" that allows the neighbours to lift bilateral coronavirus travel bans. Ardern said Australia and New Zealand would mutually waive their two-week quarantine periods for international arrivals under the proposal. She was reluctant to predict when it could take effect but warned: "Don't expect this to happen in a couple of weeks' time." Millions of schoolchildren returned to class after Vietnam reported its 17th straight day without domestically transmitted coronavirus infections. The decision to reopen schools came after the country eased social distancing measures at the end of April. Experts say a decisive response involving mass quarantines and expansive contact tracing were responsible for its apparent success in containing the disease. South Korean students will return to school from next week after the country saw a significant drop in new cases in recent days. Asian markets suffered steep losses after Donald Trump sparked fears of a renewed trade war with China over its role in the coronavirus pandemic. Claims by the US president and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the disease started in a lab in Wuhan, and that those responsible would be held to account, overshadowed a further slowing of infections and deaths from COVID-19. New Zealand Warriors coach Stephen Kearney warned players not to squander the chance for Australia's National Rugby League to become one of the first sports in the world to restart from coronavirus shutdown. Kearney's Auckland-based Warriors arrived in Australia on Sunday after being granted a special exemption to enter the country and train en masse ahead of a planned resumption of the sport. burs-sr/gle
