Regarding measures against the new coronavirus, Aichi Prefecture still has a high level of bed usage in the prefecture, and requested the government on the morning of the 2nd to extend the priority measures such as prevention of spread of the deadline on the 6th of this month.
Priority measures such as spread prevention, which are applied to 31 prefectures such as Aichi prefecture as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, are due on the 6th of this month.
Regarding the status of infection in Aichi Prefecture, although the number of newly infected people per day is declining, the bed usage rate is still at a high level, and it is necessary to continue measures, so emphasis is placed on preventing spread even after the 7th. On the morning of the 2nd, I requested the government in writing to extend the measures.
Although the request does not mention the extension period, Governor Omura said at a press conference on the 1st, "It is difficult to dramatically improve the hospitalization situation in 2 weeks, so it may be 3 weeks." I am saying.
Currently, Aichi Prefecture is requesting restaurants to shorten the time, etc., targeting the entire prefecture as a priority measure, and the prefecture plans to consider specific measures from next week onward while watching the government's response.
