A message to the people of Kochi Prefecture\u3008June 4 2021\u3009<\/strong>

\u25cfSince May, COVID-19 cases in Kochi Prefecture has been increasing rapidly. In response to this, I made a request for restaurants (especially those that serve alcohol) in both Shimanto City and Kochi City, where infection rates were particularly high, to close by 8pm for the period of 26 May to 8 June.<\/p>\n

\u25cfThanks to the co-operation of a large number of businesses, currently COVID-19 cases in the prefecture have reduced slightly. Despite this, there are still a large amount of confirmed cases daily. Thus, the response stage has remained the same at the special precaution<\/u><\/span><\/strong> stage, the second highest stage rating.<\/p>\n

\u25cfRegarding Kochi City and Shimanto City<\/strong>
\n\u30fcShimanto City\u30fc<\/u><\/strong>
\nThe number of COVID-19 cases in the city has greatly reduced, including some days with 0 confirmed cases. My request that restaurants etc. close by 8pm each night will end on the 8 June as planned.<\/p>\n

\u30fcKochi City\u30fc<\/u><\/strong>
\nThe number of daily COVID-19 cases remain high. My request that restaurants etc. close by 8pm each night has been extended until Sunday 20 June<\/strong>. However, if COVID-19 cases reduce substantially before then, I will review this request and possibly end it on Sunday 13 June. The Kochi prefectural government will continue to grant assistance funds to businesses that cooperate with this request.<\/p>\n

\u25cfWithin the prefecture, confirmed COVID-19 cases who are infected with a variant strain of the virus continues to remain high. These COVID-19 variant strains are extremely contagious. Without the current measures to reduce the spread of infection, the number of COVID-19 cases in the prefecture would rapidly increase.<\/p>\n

\u25cfI ask for your continued cooperation in regard to the following measures:
\n\u30fbPlease refrain from dining out in groups of more than four people and for longer than two hours.<\/strong>
\n\u30fbWhen dining out, please avoid conversing with others while not wearing a mask as much as possible<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u25cfWe are in a crucial period to determine whether COVID-19 case numbers will continue to decrease or increase once again. I ask for your continued cooperation to reduce the spread of infection in our prefecture.<\/p>\n

4 June 2021
\nGovernor of Kochi Prefecture
\nHamada Seiji<\/p>\n
