Regarding the state of emergency based on the Act on Special Measures for Coronavirus Diseases, the government has taken into consideration the infection situation and medical care provision system, and out of the 10 prefectures in the target area, the three Kansai prefectures of Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto, and Aichi and Gifu prefectures. In addition, it is planned to be canceled on the 28th of the end of this month in 6 prefectures of Fukuoka prefecture.



An advisory committee was started at 0:30 pm with the attendance of Minister for Economic Revitalization Nishimura and Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Tamura to hear opinions from experts on these policies.



If consent is obtained, the government will open the response headquarters after 6 pm on the 26th and decide to cancel the declarations of the six prefectures after reporting and asking questions in the Diet.



On the other hand, in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the number of new infected people is slowing down, so we will continue to take measures such as refraining from going out and teleworking so that the declaration can be canceled by the deadline of 7th next month. It is a policy to call for thorough implementation.
