Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture reiterated his intention to request the government to issue a state of emergency when the current "priority measures such as prevention of spread" do not have the effect of suppressing the spread of the new corona. In that case, he acknowledged that large-scale commercial facilities such as department stores and theme parks should be requested to close.
At a press conference, Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture said, "The effect of priority measures such as prevention of spread will be effective around 19th of this month. I would like to request a state of emergency. "
