Regarding the uptick in C19 infections, Fukuoka City Mayor Takashima said at a press conference yesterday (July 11), “The number of newly infected people is increasing, but most of them are under the age of 60, and none of them are seriously ill. We have been imposing restrictions on activities and private rights because many people are seriously ill, and I believe that restrictions on personal rights should be avoided as much as possible.” He said that even though the Yamakasa festival necessitates situations of density, with the current precautions in place, it should continue.
