Governor of Kanagawa Prefecture "Gaze with caution" to raise the alert level of the city, July 15 18:14
Governor Kuroiwa of Kanagawa Prefecture said he was "watching with caution" about the Tokyo Metropolitan Government raising the alert level of the infection situation to the most serious expression on the 15th.
Governor Kuroiwa said, "Before this interview, I received a phone call from Governor Koike to "increase the level of alertness." The number of infected people in Tokyo continues to be high, and Kanagawa and Tokyo are living areas. It's a very sense of crisis because it's a unity. Although the number of people infected in Kanagawa is not as high as in Tokyo, more than 20 people continue to be infected, so we are watching with caution."
After that, he called on the citizens of the prefecture to "think that the virus always lurks somewhere, and be cautious about spending each and every one in a new lifestyle."
Theater cluster “Consider examination enhancement”
Governor Kuroiwa said, ``The occurrence of a cluster on the stage is very serious,'' regarding the outbreak of a new coronavirus in a theater in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and the confirmed infections of people watching the stage in Kanagawa Prefecture. In Kanagawa Prefecture, the stage of the prefectural theater has been restarted, and the theater company and the theater side are thoroughly ventilated, and thorough infection prevention measures are being taken. Since we are expanding the inspection system by doing so, we would like to consider enhancing inspections at facilities such as theaters.”
Go To Campaign "I can expect immediate effect"
Governor Kuroiwa said, “The tourism industry has been seriously hit, and we expect the campaign to be an immediate action. To prevent the spread of infection while turning on the economic engine. It will be a difficult theme to achieve, but I think that it can be achieved if both the business operator and the tourist pay attention to each other. The prefecture wants to strive for safety and security in tourism."
