Regarding priority measures such as prevention of spread, which will expire on the 6th of this month, Gifu Prefecture has decided to request the government to re-extend the infection, saying that the infection of the new coronavirus has not been sufficiently contained, according to the interview with the people concerned. I understand.
In Gifu prefecture, it was extended to 13th of last month after the priority measures such as prevention of spread were applied from January 21st, and the deadline is 6th of this month.
In Gifu prefecture, the number of confirmed infections per day up to the 2nd has been below the same day of the previous week for 11 consecutive days, but it has exceeded 384, which was the highest number in the "fifth wave" of infection. In addition, the usage rate of beds as of one day is 43.4%, and the number of people who are receiving medical treatment at home is 4024.
According to the people concerned, the infection in the prefecture has not been sufficiently subsided, and the government has decided to request the extension again, saying that it is not in a situation to cancel the "priority measures" at this stage.
Gifu Prefecture will hold a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters from 4:00 pm on the 3rd to decide the policy and then formally request the government.
On the other hand, in Gifu prefecture, we are currently requesting restaurants to shorten business hours and refrain from serving alcoholic beverages, but if the priority measures are extended, it will be decided at the countermeasures headquarters meeting whether to relax the request contents. I am doing it.
