Osaka Prefecture held a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters for the new coronavirus on the night of the 1st, and decided its own criteria for requesting the government to cancel the state of emergency if the state of emergency is extended on the 7th of this month.
It is based on trends in the number of new positives and bed usage.
In this, Governor Yoshimura said, "Extension of the state of emergency is being considered. I think that the extension is unavoidable because the sickbed is still tight, but Osaka Prefecture should show the judgment standard" exit standard "when requesting cancellation. That's it. "
A person in charge in Osaka Prefecture reported that it was reasonable to refer to the number of people who tested positive and the bed usage rate for critically ill patients regarding the conditions for cancellation.
In response to this, at the meeting,
▽ the number of new positives in the last week averaged 300 or less per day for 7 days, or
▽ the usage rate of beds for critically ill patients was less than 60%.
We decided to use
the case of 7 days as the
standard.
In addition, even if the standard is reached, we will hear the opinions of experts before requesting the cancellation of the declaration.
In addition, at the meeting, if the extension was decided, it was decided to continue shortening the business hours to restaurants and requesting the citizens of the prefecture to refrain from going out unnecessarily.
After the meeting, Governor Yoshimura told reporters, "The declaration is a last resort and we make a really strict request, so it should be canceled when a certain effect to prevent the spread of infection is seen. When the extension ends However, the anxiety that is hard to see is considerable, so my idea is to clearly inform the citizens of the prefecture and businesses that "I will request cancellation when this happens."
