Following the rapid spread of the new coronavirus infection, Governor Omura of Aichi Prefecture has expressed his intention to coordinate with Gifu Prefecture to request the government to issue a state of emergency based on the Special Measures Law.
In Aichi Prefecture, infection with the new coronavirus is rapidly expanding, with more than 400 new infections confirmed on the 7th and 8th for the second consecutive day.
Under these circumstances, Governor Omura of Aichi Prefecture said at a press conference on the afternoon of the 8th, "Although the infection situation in Aichi Prefecture for the past few days is lower than that in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area, the number of infected people is moving with almost the same tendency. It is a difficult situation. We would like to consider requesting the national emergency declaration as Aichi Prefecture. "
After that, "As for when to request a declaration, Governor Furuta of Gifu Prefecture also offered to keep pace with Aichi Prefecture, so I would like to keep in touch and proceed with the efforts. I would like to discuss and coordinate with the parties concerned. "
