[Mayor’s message (April 28)]

[Full text of the mayor's message regarding the new coronavirus infection]

    The government has issued the third state of emergency for new coronavirus infections.
    The period is from April 25th to May 11th, 3rd year of Reiwa, and the areas are Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo prefectures. In light of the increasing number of people infected with mutant strains, we will take measures to curb the flow of people and take thorough infection prevention measures.

Kagoshima Prefecture and Aira City are not covered areas, but we must once again take measures with a sense of crisis in order to prevent the spread of infection.

    Although it is a painful request before the Golden Week holidays, we would like you to refrain from visiting the prefecture outside the prefecture, especially the areas subject to the state of emergency and the areas where the prefecture is calling for self-restraint.
    Also, regarding dinner, select a store that has thorough infection prevention measures, have a small number of people go to the restaurant in a short time, practice wearing a mask except when eating, and take risks of infection such as not attending those who are in poor physical condition. Please lower it.

In such a difficult situation, all the people who cooperate with us, including doctors, nurses and other medical personnel who are making devoted efforts at the forefront of the medical field. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We look forward to your continued efforts to prevent the spread of infection by the citizens.
