We would like to thank the townspeople for their deep understanding and cooperation in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus infection every day.

　Now, as the year-end and New Year holidays are approaching, the new coronavirus infection is spreading rapidly all over the country.

　We ask the townspeople to take basic infection prevention measures such as masks, hand washing, and gargling, and pay sufficient attention to the following points so that the New Year will be healthy.

• To protect yourself and your loved ones, please spend the year-end and New Year holidays with your family as much as possible.In addition, the movement of people tends to be concentrated and become "dense" due to homecoming, travel, and first visits.We ask for your cooperation in "decentralization," "miniaturization," and "remote control" in order to disperse the flow of people and avoid situations that tend to be dense.

• When visiting an area where the infection has spread, carefully consider the visit itself in order to help prevent the spread of the infection in the area.Regarding homecoming, please consult with your family in advance, especially homecoming from the infected area, or returning to the home of elderly people or people with underlying illness who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill. Please judge carefully.

• We ask business operators to thoroughly implement infection prevention measures such as temperature measurement at the entrance, regular disinfection, and ventilation in accordance with the guidelines.

　Anyone can get a new coronavirus infection.Don't be fooled by unfounded information and never slander the infected person, family members, medical personnel, etc.Please be considerate of each other and act calmly so as not to lead to human rights violations.

　In the town, we will continue to do our utmost to prevent the new coronavirus in order to protect the lives and lives of the residents.
