Kyoto Prefecture has announced that its own criteria for requesting the state to lift the state of emergency have been met as of the 12th.
On the other hand, whether or not to actually request the cancellation will be decided carefully from next week based on the opinions of experts.
As an original standard for requesting the government to cancel the state of emergency, Kyoto Prefecture has ▽ the average number of new positives is less than 50 per week for 7 consecutive days, ▽ severe illness requiring advanced treatment. The usage rate of beds for patients is less than 50%.
As a result, as of the 12th, the number of new positives was 27.14, and the bed usage rate for critically ill patients was 10.5%, both of which met the criteria for 7 consecutive days.
On the other hand, Kyoto Prefecture will make a careful decision as to whether or not to actually request the cancellation from next week, based on the opinions of experts and discussions with Osaka and Hyogo.
