The priority measures such as spread prevention applied to 18 prefectures such as Kyoto are due on the 21st of this month, and the government will decide on the treatment of the priority measures on the 16th.



On the morning of the 15th, Kyoto Prefecture held a meeting of the Countermeasures Headquarters to discuss how to deal with this, in the form of a roundabout way of not gathering face-to-face.



According to the prefecture, the


number of newly infected people in the prefecture is declining, and


the bed usage rate for inpatients has been gradually improving, falling below 50% since the 11th of this month.


It means that it has decided not to request the extension of priority measures.



Governor Nishiwaki made it clear to reporters that he had informed the minister in charge of measures for the new Yamagiwa corona as a prefectural policy. On the other hand, the number of infected people is at a certain level, and I think it is necessary to continue to take measures to prevent infection. "



Regarding measures to be taken when the priority measures are lifted, Governor Nishiwaki said he was cautious about continuing the request for shortening business hours to restaurants, etc. Opportunities for people to move and contact will increase. We believe that it is necessary to take measures based on the circumstances of the spread of the infection from the end of March to April last year, and we would like to proceed with the examination based on the national policy.
