On the other hand, he said that the rapid spread of infection should be suppressed, and that the cancellation of the declaration after the extension should be considered.
Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture told reporters on the 1st that Osaka was also targeted and that the state of emergency was declared due on the 7th of this month. "With the cooperation of time saving requests, the rapid spread of infection in Osaka can be suppressed. However, the condition of the sickbed continues to be tight, and I think it is unavoidable to extend the declaration, "he said, expressing his intention to convey this intention to the government.
On the other hand, Governor Yoshimura said, "I have made a lot of sacrifices in the declaration, and I think it is different to extend it for a month indiscriminately. He suggested that it should be considered to cancel the declaration halfway after the extension.
Governor Yoshimura held a meeting of the Countermeasures Headquarters in Osaka Prefecture after discussing with Governor Ido of Hyogo Prefecture and Governor Nishiwaki of Kyoto Prefecture during the day, and announced his intention to formally decide the policy.
In addition, regarding the request for shortening business hours and refraining from going out unnecessarily, he said, "If the declaration is extended, the request will be extended."
