China News Service, February 26. According to Kyodo News Agency of Japan, the Japanese government will make a decision on the COVID-19 emergency declaration issued by 10 prefectures until March 7 on the evening of the 26th. The 2 prefectures, the 3 prefectures of Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, and Fukuoka in the Kansai region, lifted the declaration at the end of February.
The picture shows Japan under the epidemic.
According to reports, the medical delivery system in 1 metropolis and 3 counties in the metropolitan area continues to be overloaded. The government aims to dissolve it on March 7 and will continue to take measures.
On the 26th, the advisory committee will not solicit opinions on this, but will make a judgment next week.
Except for the 6 prefectures and counties outside the capital, almost all indicators have escaped the “fourth stage” of the most severe epidemic.
Regarding Fukuoka Prefecture, which has been coordinating, based on the prefecture’s hope that the declaration will be lifted as soon as possible, relevant government officials stated that “as the number of infected people decreases, the bed conditions will improve”.
In addition, the government has set up a transitional period of about one month after the declaration is lifted for the restrictions on holding events. At the beginning of the lifting, the restrictions were relaxed in stages, including a maximum of 10,000 people.
On January 7, the Japanese government once again issued an emergency declaration for the 1 metropolis and 3 prefectures in the metropolitan area. The deadline is February 7.
On January 13, 7 prefectures and counties in the East China Sea and Kansai regions were added.
On February 2, the declaration period of 10 prefectures except Tochigi Prefecture was extended to March 7.
