Given the rapid spread of the new corona infection, it was found that Gunma Prefecture has decided to request the government to apply priority measures such as prevention of spread.
On the morning of the 18th, Gunma Prefecture held a meeting with the persons in charge of related departments to discuss future policies regarding measures against the new corona.
As a result, the number of newly infected people has exceeded 200 per day, and the bed usage rate has exceeded 30%. Based on the fact that the spread of infection cannot be stopped, the government is requested to apply priority measures such as prevention of spread. We have decided on a policy to do so.
We are adjusting the target area of the priority measures to cover the entire prefecture, and we will further consider specific measures such as shortening the business hours to restaurants and requesting restrictions on the provision of alcohol.
