Under fire for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and scandals among party members, Abe - who vowed to revive the economy with his “Abenomics” policy of spending and monetary easing - has recently seen his support fall to one of the lowest levels of his nearly eight years in office. Sources have told Reuters Abe would consult with doctors prior to the news conference, whether by phone or another hospital visit.

Abe, who has been struggling with the chronic condition ulcerative colitis since his teens, has not detailed what the hospital visits were for, instead saying he wanted to take care of his health and do his utmost at his job.

God bless him
