　The number of medical treatment including home and accommodation treatment exceeds 35.6, and the secured bed usage rate as of yesterday was XNUMX%, and if the number of new positives continues to increase, there is concern about medical strain. Will issue "special medical warnings" to all prefectures.
　In addition, due to the characteristics of the BA.XNUMX system, which is unlikely to become severe, there were no seriously ill people at the stage of yesterday, so at this stage, the number of people and time restrictions at the dinner and the cancellation of the event, as was done at the past level XNUMX, are canceled.・ We will not take strong measures such as requesting postponement or suspension of public facilities.
　The prefecture will do its utmost to avoid the strain on medical care and maintain socio-economic activities by minimizing the occurrence of severely ill people, stopping the increase in positive people, and reducing the burden of medical care. I will work on it.
　We ask the citizens of the prefecture to go back to the basics and take thorough measures to prevent themselves from being infected and to prevent others from being infected.
