Reuters reports that Japan kept the overall assessment of its economy unchanged for a second straight month in July.
In a monthly report the government said full attention should be given to the way infection trends are affecting the domestic economy as well as those abroad.
"The economy shows increased weakness in some parts, though it continued picking up amid severe conditions due to the coronavirus," the government said.
Authorities kept their view of key economic components such as private consumption - which accounts for more than half of gross domestic product (GDP) - as well as exports and output unchanged.
They said Japan's exports were gradually increasing due to a recovery of overseas economies.
The government raised its assessment of business conditions for the first time in four months, largely because the Bank of Japan's tankan business sentiment survey for April-June showed signs of recovery in business conditions.
Authorities now describe business conditions as showing signs of picking up, although they say conditions remain severe in some areas. That was a notch better than the prior month's assessment, when they said a pickup in business conditions was stalling.
