 note = {This paper seeks to assess the actions taken by the Japanese government in the first year since the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus infection was confirmed in Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. For this purpose, the Investigation and Verification Report (API 2020) by the Independent Investigation Commission on the Response to COVID-19 will be examined to determine the shortcomings and effectiveness of the precautions and countermeasures that were implemented throughout this period. Ten primary issues - including the revision of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Countermeasures against the Novel Influenza and the response of local and national governments - were identified in this research as having played a significant role in lowering the effectiveness of the Japanese government's response. Based on the analysis, recommendations for facing such crises in the future, such as designing and operating corecapacity and surge-capacity in the emergencies, were also made to improve the Japanese model.},
