The number of people infected with the new coronavirus is increasing day by day in Japan.For this reason, on April 4th, an "emergency declaration" was issued nationwide, including Nagano Prefecture.Even in Nagano Prefecture, we are requesting the citizens of the prefecture to refrain from going out unnecessarily and urgently unless it is necessary to live, so even in Nagawa Town, we will further prevent the spread of infection. I would like to do my best.

　Viruses are transmitted from person to person.We strongly request that you take measures to prevent infection so that you will not be infected and will not be transmitted to anyone.

　First of all, please avoid contact with people as much as possible and refrain from going out unnecessarily.

　Make as few people as possible to shop for your daily life, and do not buy up or stock up.When you go out, please be careful to avoid crowded places and times.

　Please do not go out to areas where the infection is spreading, especially outside the prefecture, even during consecutive holidays.We strongly request that you avoid places where people gather, such as sightseeing spots, both inside and outside the town.

　In addition, there should be no unfair discrimination or prejudice against infected persons, those around them, medical personnel, or persons coming from areas where the infection is widespread.Please give first consideration to human rights and act calmly.

　In order to protect the lives and health of the townspeople, we will do our utmost to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, so let's support each other in the community and overcome this difficult situation.

　We sincerely ask for your deep understanding and active cooperation.
