New virus pneumonia Postponement of friendship city event with Wuhan Oita January 20 19:24

Oita City will postpone the event scheduled to open next month to commemorate the 40th anniversary of a friendship city with Wuhan due to a series of pneumonia that seems to be due to new coronavirus in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. I decided.

In Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, pneumonia that seems to be due to the new type of coronavirus continues, and a Chinese man living in Kanagawa Prefecture who had traveled to Wuhan complained of the symptoms of pneumonia after returning to Japan, and the infection with the new type coronavirus was infected. Confirmed.

In response to these problems, Oita City, which connects Wuhan to a friendship city, will invite five cooks to serve Wuhan cuisine to citizens on a public square in front of JR Oita Station on the 8th of next month. I decided to postpone the event.

This project was planned as a project to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of a friendship city between Oita City and Wuhan, but Oita City has decided to hold it at a later date, so the implementation time after the postponement is undecided .

On the other hand, the commemorative ceremony scheduled for March 26, inviting the mayor of Wuhan, will be proceeding with preparations to be carried out as planned at this stage.
