But while the national government seeks to develop a roadmap, some local governments are designing their own.
In Iwate’s prefecture, in the northeast of the country, the only prefecture in the country where the infection was not confirmed, local leaders asked the population to avoid unnecessary exit. Now they say they will cancel this request, but they will still ask other people to remain in the Prefecture.
It is a similar story in the western prefecture of Tottori, where only three other people were infected. The authorities are asking people who travel to other prefectures and remain away from nightclubs.
Osaka Governor Yoshimura Hirofumi said Tuesday that the spread of the virus has slowed significantly to the strengths of the other people there during the month beyond the month. But he said the national state of emergency has been extended, so they want a transparent target for easing restrictions. Since the central government was unable to provide one, its prefecture will offer an “Osaka model. “
This style requires that the number of new instances with transparent clues fall under 10 according to the day. And the positive effect rate among other proven people is less than 7%. The third criterion is that the occupation rate of hospital beds for patients with serious symptoms remains less than 60%.
All three conditions must be met for seven consecutive days. The Osaka government says it will determine on May 15 whether to gradually reopen businesses.
In Tokyo, which has seen about 5,000 confirmed infections, officials have decided to ask amusement facilities, restaurants and other establishments to stay closed or shorten their business hours through May 31.
At the same time, they seek to create a road map to relieve restrictions and deal with people’s considerations about their future.
Governor Koike Yuriko said Tuesday: “It is not simple to locate an exit and we never disappoint our guard or we are surprised through the nap. It is our duty to establish a road map for the future, balancing human life and the economy.
The state of emergency provides the governors of the prefectures more strength to exercise tension in citizens and companies to take precautionary measures, but it does not force them to adopt changes. And 3 weeks later, some of those governors say they are not waiting for national leaders to the road.
