As you may have already heard Japan is announcing a state of emergency in 7 prefecutres.
There is a detailed page describing what state of emergecy actualy means for the everyday life.
I would like to welcome everyone who wants to participate in reading, translating, and discussing this information.
I’ll try starting the translation. Please let me know if you notice mistakes in my translation.
「緊急事態宣言」によって、都道府県知事は、住民に対して期間と地域を定めた上で不要不急の外出を自粛するよう「要請」できるほか、施設の使用制限や停止を「要請」できるようになります。
Under the “State of Emergency” prefectural governers, within the decided period and territory, gain the power to demand from the citizens to restrain themselves from non-essential going out, as well as demand restriction on use and/or shutting down of establishments.
一方で、政府は、日本の「緊急事態宣言」は強制力のある措置は限られ、海外のような「ロックダウン」＝「都市封鎖」ではないとしています。
On the other hand, the government is taking care to limit the legal measures of the Japanese State of Emergency and not let it become like the “Lockdown” aboroad.

in a State of Emergency, legally enforceable measures available to the government are limited, which means it is not a ‘Lockdown’ akin to overseas
Yeah, this sounds so much better 
It’s not like anyone could see my screen now during the self-isolation 
But yeah, it’s appears my guess wasn’t far off.
