When the first wave of COVID-19 hit Japan, the number of pregnancies dropped significantly compared to the same month last year. This paper examines the impact of the government's request to remain at home and identifies the following two points: (i) government's request for self-restraint reduced the number of pregnancies by five to eight percent; and (ii) the number of pregnancies in areas legally designated as requiring special precautions was significantly two to three percent lower than in other areas.
