The number of new cases of new coronavirus infection is decreasing in the prefecture. Governor Hattori of Fukuoka Prefecture stated, “Looking at the number of infected people alone, it seems to have peaked out,” but he also noted that the utilization rate of hospital beds remains high and that he will maintain the medical supply system and closely monitor the situation. In addition, he stated that the government is considering the possibility of shifting the status of H1N1 coronas under the Infectious Diseases Control Law to “Class 5,” the same as seasonal influenza in the spring of this year.
