On the 24th, Okinawa Prefecture held a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters for the new corona and requested the government to extend the "priority measures such as prevention of spread", which is due at the end of this month, for about 3 weeks, saying that the number of elderly people who are infected and hospitalized is increasing. I decided to do it.
"Priority measures such as prevention of spread" have been applied to Okinawa Prefecture by the 31st of this month, and the prefecture is requesting restaurants in all municipalities to shorten their business hours.
Under these circumstances, the prefecture held a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters for the new Corona on the 24th to discuss future measures.
At the meeting, priority measures will be taken in light of the fact that the number of elderly people who are infected and hospitalized and infected people in nursing homes is increasing, and that the Lunar New Year, when the number of gatherings with relatives will increase next month, is on the horizon. It was decided to request the government to extend the infection, saying that if it is lifted at the end of this month, the infection may spread further to a wide range of generations.
The extension period is about 3 weeks until around the 20th of next month, but if the number of infected people decreases significantly or the tight medical system improves, we will consider canceling it ahead of schedule. ..
