Request for suspension of business in Osaka Prefecture If it meets its own standards, it will be decided to cancel gradually tonight 13:12 on May 14
Osaka Prefecture has the policy of deciding the cancellation of leave requests in stages on the 14th night if it meets the criteria of the "Osaka model" that determines cancellation of leave requests to facilities for 14 days or 7 consecutive days. We are in a hurry to coordinate with Hyogo Prefecture and Kyoto Prefecture, which are "specific warning prefectures", so as to align the facilities and business categories to be canceled. On the other hand, for schools, we plan to continue closing the school until the 31st of this month.
If Osaka Prefecture meets the criteria for three consecutively established “Osaka model” on 14th and 7th consecutive days, Osaka Prefecture will hold a countermeasure headquarters meeting on the evening of 14th and decide to gradually cancel the request for leave. In the policy, Governor Yoshimura told reporters on the morning of the 14th, "I will decide at the meeting tonight."
The prefecture is in the process of making adjustments for the cancellation of a wide range of industries excluding nighttime restaurants and live-houses, where a group of infected people known as clusters are serving customers, and live houses. Regarding restaurants including the restaurant, we plan to extend the business hours by 10 pm and the liquor service until 9 pm for 2 hours each.
In order to prevent the movement of people across prefectures, the prefecture wants to have facilities and business formats to be canceled with Hyogo prefecture and Kyoto prefecture, which are the same "precautionary prefectures", and we are urgently coordinating with them. .
On the other hand, regarding prefectural schools and elementary and junior high schools in municipalities that are closed until the 31st of this month, it will be difficult to restart until the emergency declaration is lifted, and we plan to continue the current school closure measures.
In addition, in order to understand the actual condition of the spread of infection in the prefecture, the "antibody test" will be conducted as early as next month to target about 2000 to 3000 people in the prefecture to see if they have been infected so far. We are proceeding with the final adjustment in the direction of implementing.
