Given that the infection has spread again in Sapporo, Hokkaido has decided on the 20th to request the government to apply "priority measures such as prevention of spread" again.
The number of infected people is increasing rapidly in Sapporo City, and the number of newly infected people per week is 22.7 per 100,000 as of the 19th, which is "Stage 3" at the national stage showing the infection status of prefectures. It exceeds the standard of 15 people per 100,000 people.
For this reason, Hokkaido has decided on the 20th that it is necessary to prevent further expansion, and on the 20th, it has decided to request the government to apply "priority measures such as spread prevention" again.
Michi is planning to ask the government to apply it as soon as possible, saying that it will be late after the infection has spread. The policy is to strengthen the measures from the beginning, refrain from going out or moving unnecessarily in Sapporo City, and request the principle of public facilities and closure.
Furthermore, for restaurants, etc., priority measures will be applied after continuing the current time saving request that the business is open until 9 pm and the sake is served until 8 pm after the deadline of 26th of this month. As soon as it is done, we will adjust the business to 8 pm and the sake service by 7 pm, one hour ahead of schedule.
After listening to the opinions of experts, Michi will hold a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters on the 20th to decide on these contents.
