In Ishikawa Prefecture, the number of confirmed infections of the new coronavirus was the highest ever in a day, and the spread of the infection could not be stopped. Therefore, on the night of the 28th, the prefecture requested the government to apply "priority measures such as prevention of spread".
Ishikawa Prefecture announced on the 28th that it was confirmed that 119 new people were infected with the new coronavirus.
This is the highest number of infected people announced on the 1st, and according to the prefecture, the infection route of more than 60% of 75 people is unknown.
In addition, about 40% of the people who were subject to the screening test conducted in the week up to the 28th were confirmed to be infected with the mutant virus "Delta strain" confirmed in India.
Governor Tanimoto said at a meeting of the prefecture's countermeasures headquarters held on the 28th, "Infection is rapidly replacing delta strains in the prefecture, and after the spread of the infection in the metropolitan area, the infection has spread in the prefecture so far. I have confirmed it. "
Then, on the night of the 28th, the prefecture requested the government to apply "priority measures such as prevention of spread".
Since the target area is Kanazawa City, the prefecture will extend the deadline for requesting shortening of business hours from the 15th of next month to restaurants in the city by one week until the 22nd of August, and the prefecture will prevent infection. We have decided to request that we refrain from serving alcoholic beverages from July 31st to August 22nd, except for stores that have certified the measures.
In addition, discounts on accommodation trips for citizens of the prefecture will not be eligible for discounts, including reservations already accepted after July 31, and will be in Kenrokuen and Nanao in Kanazawa. This means that facilities managed by the prefecture, such as the Aquarium, will be closed or closed until August 22nd.
