Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture called on the citizens of the prefecture and businesses to cooperate with the application of the "priority measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus," and then took measures against infection at restaurants, such as wearing masks at dinner. I strongly demanded that it be thorough.
In response to the application of "priority measures such as spread prevention" for one month from the 5th of this month to the 5th of next month, Osaka Prefecture will target the city of Osaka, where the infection is rapidly spreading. We have decided to request restaurants in the city to open until 8 pm.
Regarding this, Governor Yoshimura told reporters on the 2nd, "If the infection spreads rapidly, it is necessary to respond promptly. Since the spread of the infection is expected for a while, I would like to ask for cooperation." We called on the business operators to cooperate again.
On top of that, "Until the vaccine spreads, if you enjoy eating and trying to control infection, you will only have a mask meal. I think it is quite inconvenient, but I would like to ask for a mask meal because it will be stronger against infection. I would like you to install an acrylic board, etc. ", and urged thorough measures against infection at restaurants, such as wearing masks at dinner.
In addition, Governor Yoshimura indicated that he would like to inform the organizing committee of the Games after deciding the policy of canceling the torch relay in Osaka City as a local as early as two days after applying the priority measures. It was.
He added, "I'm really sorry for the torchbearer who has been preparing. I would like to discuss with the Organizing Committee whether alternative measures can be taken."
