Similar to other countries, the Japanese government quickly undertook preventative measures against increasing suicides during the pandemic, but could not suppress the increase. Suicide mortality among both sexes under 20 and females aged 20-39 significantly increased during the pandemic, but unexpectedly had already slowed decreasing trends before the pandemic onset. Furthermore, before the pandemic, a higher complete unemployment rate contributed to increasing suicide mortality of both sexes, whereas during the pandemic, the positive relationship between females suicide mortalities and complete unemployment rates was not observed.
与其他国家类似，日本政府在疫情期间迅速采取了预防自杀人数增加的措施，但未能抑制自杀人数的增加。疫情期间，20 岁以下男女和 20-39 岁女性的自杀死亡率显著上升，但在疫情爆发前，自杀死亡率已经呈现出下降趋势。此外，在疫情之前，较高的完全失业率导致了两性自杀死亡率的上升，而在疫情期间，女性自杀死亡率与完全失业率之间的正相关关系并不明显。
