We would like to thank each and every one of you for your understanding and cooperation in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

This is the sixth wave in which the spread of infection is progressing on a scale that has never been experienced in the past, but the momentum is not showing signs of slowing down, and I think that the townspeople are also very anxious.
In Nagawa Town, new positives have been newly confirmed, and we would like to express our deepest sympathies to those infected and pray for the earliest possible recovery.
The Omicron strain, whose infection is spreading, is extremely infectious compared to the mutant strains so far, and anyone can be infected.We ask all of you to lead a calm life, to make calm judgments and actions based on correct information without being confused by rumors and hoaxes, and to those infected and those around you. Please give first consideration to human rights so as not to discriminate, prejudice, or slander medical professionals.

Currently, in Nagano Prefecture, from January 27th to February 20th, the infection alert level in all areas is set to XNUMX, and priority measures such as prevention of spread are being taken.
We would like to ask all residents to return to the starting point of infection control and thoroughly implement basic infection control measures in order to stop the rapid spread of infection and overcome the sixth wave.
We ask for your understanding and cooperation in order to continue to check information from prefectures and towns and protect lives and livelihoods.

　January 28, XNUMXth year of Reiwa
Mayor Nagawa Kenichiro Haneda
