Governor Saito of Hyogo Prefecture said that the deadline for this month's 20th is that the priority measures such as prevention of spread are not in a situation where they can be canceled immediately due to the ongoing medical pressure such as the bed usage rate exceeding 70%. He expressed his intention to formally decide to request the government to extend it on the 15th.
Regarding the new corona, Governor Saito of Hyogo Prefecture told reporters on the 14th, "The number of newly infected people is slightly lower than the previous week, but the bed usage rate is improving, such as exceeding 70%. It's not a state, it's still an unpredictable situation. "
He said, "It is difficult to immediately lift the priority measures such as prevention of spread," and said that he would formally decide to request the government to extend it on the 15th.
The deadline for extension is that we would like to discuss with the government around the 6th of next month, which is the same as 14 prefectures such as Tokyo, and we will continue to target the entire prefecture and request restaurants to shorten the business hours.
Governor Saito said, "I would like to ask the citizens of the prefecture to continue to take basic infection control measures. The national policy stipulates specific measures for nursery schools and facilities for the elderly, so we will reflect them in the prefecture's policy. I want to. "
