Governor Kuroiwa of Kanagawa Prefecture has indicated that it will be difficult to lift the priority measures such as the prevention of spread, which is due on the 6th of next month, unless the tight situation in the medical field is significantly improved.
In Kanagawa Prefecture, the number of infected people announced on the 1st has exceeded 6000, and the bed usage rate as of the 28th has exceeded 70%, and the situation is still severe.
Under these circumstances, Governor Kuroiwa told reporters about the priority measures such as the prevention of spread, which is due on the 6th of next month. If not, I have to think that it will be very difficult to release. "
In addition, when asked if the decision on whether to request an extension should be made in one of the three prefectures in the Tokyo metropolitan area, he said, "We are exchanging opinions, but none of them have decided on their attitude yet, and we are watching the situation. I don't think we have to keep pace because each of them has their own ideas. "
