As the infection of the new coronavirus continues to spread rapidly, Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture will request the government when the usage rate of beds in the prefecture reaches 35%. He expressed his intention to discuss with the governors of Hyogo and Kyoto prefectures in the near future, saying that the region needs to work together.
Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture told reporters about the current infection situation in the prefecture, "The infection spread power of the Omicron strain is clearly stronger than the previous strains, and there is a high possibility that the infection will spread in the future. I think the number of newly infected people will reach a record high. "
On that basis, when the sickbed usage rate in the prefecture reached 35%, he immediately held a meeting of the prefecture's countermeasures headquarters and reiterated the idea of requesting the national government to apply "priority measures such as spread prevention".
In addition, Governor Yoshimura said, "Since Keihanshin is one in the people flow, exchange, and economic zone, we would like to set up a three-party meeting between the Governor of Hyogo Prefecture and the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture." In the near future, he expressed his intention to discuss with the governors of the three prefectures of Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto.
With the rapid spread of infection, the bed usage rate in Osaka Prefecture is on the rise, reaching 27.1% as of the 16th.
