In this Friday, Feb. 21, 2020, photo, Japan's Emperor Naruhito, left, speaks during a news conference in Tokyo, ahead of his 60th birthday on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2020. Naruhito offered his sympathy to those affected by the new virus that emerged in China and said he hopes to see the outbreak contained soon. Birthday celebration plans had called for him to wave from the palace balcony to tens of thousands of well-wishers, but they were canceled as a precautionary anti-infection measure.
