In response to the government's decision to lift the emergency declaration for the two prefectures of Kansai, Kyoto decided to cancel most of its leave requests at midnight on the 23rd. However, we cancel the release of restaurants and live houses with night entertainment, and will decide again about the university next week.
Regarding the declaration of emergency, the government has officially decided to cancel it in Osaka, Kyoto and 2 prefectures of Kansai in Hyogo.
Kyoto Prefecture held a countermeasures headquarters meeting at 6:30 pm on the 21st, and decided to cancel most of the ongoing leave requests for some facilities at midnight on the 23rd.
Requests for suspension of work will be canceled at entertainment facilities, exercise facilities, amusement facilities, gathering / exhibition facilities, etc. where the total floor area exceeds 1,000 square meters.
In addition, we will cancel all requests for refraining from operating at restaurants, including izakaya, which are open until 10 pm and serve alcohol until 9 pm.
However, of the facilities requesting leave, as a facility called a cluster where a group of infected people occurred and similar facilities, we canceled the release of restaurants and live houses, sports gyms, etc. with evening entertainment, We request cooperation for leave.
In addition, unlike Kyoto and Osaka, Hyogo continues to request leave due to clustering at universities in Kyoto Prefecture, but it is expected that students will move across prefectures when resumed. We will ask each university to create a manual for prevention, and we will make a new decision next week.
As the state of emergency in 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures and Hokkaido continues to be declared, Kyoto Prefecture will continue to seek self-restraint not only for movements beyond prefectures but also for events that exceed a certain scale.
In the conference, Governor Nishiwaki said, "There are still some places where emergency declarations are continuing throughout the country. Since the new coronavirus is not gone, it exists around us, so please continue to work with tension. I said.
