Following a series of new coronavirus infections in Gunma Prefecture, Governor Yamamoto of Gunma Prefecture held an extraordinary meeting on the evening of the 17th, saying, "The government is vaccinated for the third time in areas where the infection is spreading. So, I would like you to consider a more flexible response. "
Gunma Prefecture announced on the 17th that it was confirmed that 52 people were newly infected with the new coronavirus.
In response to this, Governor Yamamoto of Gunma Prefecture held an extraordinary press conference, of which 30 were employees of two factories of the same company where the cluster was occurring, and the total number of infected people was 48. He also revealed that 20 other people are currently being tested.
The seven screening tests were all Delta strains, indicating that the cluster is extremely unlikely to be an Omicron strain.
In response to the occurrence of a large-scale cluster, Governor Yamamoto said, "If we were able to carry out PCR tests with the cooperation of businesses in the early stages of the cluster, we could have prevented the spread of the infection. I regret it. In order to quickly converge the cluster in the workplace, it is necessary to cooperate with the business establishment, and if infection is confirmed, I would like you to cooperate with the investigation. " I made it clear that I sent the request notification.
On top of that, in response to the fact that the number of infected people in the prefecture is increasing nationwide, "The government is thinking about flexible measures by accelerating the third vaccination in the area where the infection is spreading. I would like you to use the stock of Moderna owned by Gunma Prefecture and move it forward as much as possible. "
