Following the spread of the new coronavirus, Aichi and Gifu prefectures have decided on the 12th to request the government to issue a state of emergency based on the Special Measures Law.

Due to the rapid spread of coronavirus infection, Aichi Prefecture is coordinating with Gifu Prefecture to request the government to issue a state of emergency based on the Special Measures Law.



Aichi Prefecture said that the timing of the request would be decided in consultation with Gifu Prefecture, etc., while paying close attention to the infection situation during the three consecutive holidays, but in Aichi and Gifu prefectures, the number of infected people announced on the same day even during the three consecutive holidays It has remained at a high level and the trend of spread of infection continues.



For this reason, Aichi and Gifu prefectures have decided to hold a governor's meeting with Mie prefecture on the 12th and request the government to declare a state of emergency.



In Aichi Prefecture, when the prefecture is included in the state of emergency declaration, some restaurants throughout the prefecture are requested to shorten the business hours, but the closing time is currently set at 9:00 pm, which is one hour. We are considering moving forward to 8:00 pm.
