Japan ready to expand coronavirus restrictions as infections surge

Japan's government is preparing social restrictions in Tokyo and other regions as the omicron variant of the coronavirus infects more people. Japan has never had a lockdown during the pandemic but has focused instead on asking restaurants and bars to close early. Crowds are back in many parts of Japan, with people packing stores and events, while COVID-19 cases jump. The order will be finalised this week and is likely to take effect Friday, the government spokesman said Tuesday. The measures are expected to last for about three weeks in 16 regions, including Okinawa, Yamaguchi and Hiroshima, which were already placed under some restrictions earlier this month. Other areas seeing surging infections, such as Osaka, may be added later. The infections are rising at an unprecedented speed, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters.

Paralympics bronze medallist archer Harvinder wants to crack UPSC: Coach

Harvinder Singh, who on Friday became the first Indian to win a Paralympics medal in archery, is a man of many parts. Pursuing Ph.D. in economics, the 31-year-old, whose legs stopped functioning properly due to adverse effect from an injection during his childhood, loves history, is a painter and dreams of cracking the UPSC examination some day, according to his coach Gaurav Sharma. Having taken up archery in the compound section after getting inspired from watching the 2012 London Paralympics, Singh almost quit the sport after he did not make it to the 2014 Incheon Asian Para Games Indian team. "He was completely demoralised and was telling archery was not his domain," his childhood coach Sharma told PTI. Sharma, however, did not want to let his effort go in vain and "wanted to take a risk". In the bronze playoff, Singh was leading 5-3 before Kim Min Su clinched the fifth set, shooting a perfect 10 to force a shoot-off where the Indian responded in style with a perfect 10 against
