After the Golden Week holidays, Okinawa Prefecture has decided to request the government to add it to the target area of the state of emergency because the spread of the new coronavirus will not be stopped.
In Okinawa Prefecture, "priority measures such as prevention of spread" were applied from the 12th of last month, and the number of infected people announced on the 1st was on a downward trend until the start of the Golden Week holidays, but the 18th is the highest ever. The infection has spread again after consecutive holidays, such as 168 people.
For this reason, Okinawa Prefecture decided to hold an online response headquarters meeting with Governor Tamaki, who is on a business trip to Tokyo from 11:00 am, and request the government to add it to the area subject to the state of emergency.
