As the infection of the new coronavirus continues to spread, Tsutenkaku, the symbol of Osaka, began lighting up in blue on the 12th to express gratitude to medical personnel.
In Osaka Prefecture, the number of seriously ill patients is increasing rapidly, and the medical system is tight, so we are lighting a red light indicating an emergency with our own "Osaka model".
Along with this, Tsutenkaku also lit up in red, but in order to express gratitude to medical personnel, we started illuminating in blue on the 12th.
In addition, the facial expression of the official Fu's character "Mozuyan" projected on the screen also shed tears when it was red, but it changed to blue and changed to a brave expression, sending the message "Good luck!" I will.
Takamitsu Takai, president of Tsutenkaku Tourism Co., Ltd., said, "As the medical system is tight, I have begun to want to express my gratitude to the medical staff working on the front lines. For behavior change to prevent the spread of infection even a little I hope to connect with you. "
Tsutenkaku will continue to light up in blue every day from 4:45 pm to 9:00 pm until the end of this month.
