I'm Haneda, the mayor.

　We would like to thank each of the townspeople for their understanding and cooperation in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
　The new coronavirus infectious disease is showing an explosive spread of infection called the 7th wave, and Nagano Prefecture also has a record number of positive cases every day, increasing the burden on medical care.For this reason, a "medical emergency declaration" was issued to all prefectures on the 6th, and the infection alert level in the Ueda area was raised to XNUMX.
　In addition, positive cases have been reported every day in Nagawa Town.We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to those who have been infected and wish them a speedy recovery.
　Under the circumstances of this explosive spread of infection, there is a possibility that anyone can be infected with the new coronavirus, and there is also a possibility that someone close to you will be infected.We ask that you remain calm and take appropriate actions to prevent further spread of the infection.
　With the Obon season approaching, there will be more opportunities to come into contact with people you don't usually meet, so I would like to ask you again to take basic measures against infection, such as washing your hands, disinfecting, and ventilating frequently to prevent infection.
　The rapid spread of infection that has never been experienced before, I think that everyone in the town is very anxious, but let's thoroughly take appropriate actions according to the scene and situation and protect our precious lives and livelihoods. .

　We sincerely ask for the further understanding and cooperation of the townspeople.

　July XNUMX, XNUMXth year of Reiwa
