Saitama Prefecture's Governor Ohno said on the morning of the 3rd that the state of emergency, which was due on the 7th of this month, was reportedly being adjusted by one city and three prefectures to request the government to extend it by two weeks. I responded to the interview.
Among them, "There is no fact that we have agreed on an extension. In Saitama Prefecture, the number of newly infected people yesterday has stopped declining at 102, and the pace of decrease is currently slowing down. If it rebounds, it may coincide with the timing of vaccination and affect the medical system. "
