In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, Fukuoka Prefecture issued a prefecture-specific corona warning, and Governor Hattori called for cooperation in shortening the working hours. Fukuoka Prefecture has decided to apply priority measures from the first half of next week. Governor Hattori told reporters on the morning of Jan. 21, “The usage rate of sickbeds in the latest figures has exceeded 15%. We are in line with both Saga and Oita prefectures to take priority measures such as preventing spread.” After that, he said, “I would like to ask the citizens of the prefecture and businesses to cooperate in order to stop the infection,” and called for cooperation in shortening the working hours starting from the 24th next week. The prefecture has decided on a supplementary budget that includes the necessary expenses to provide cooperation money to restaurants that respond to the request for shortened working hours. Fukuoka Prefecture, together with Saga and Oita prefectures, will request the government to apply priority measures such as prevention of spread at the beginning of the week. <\/span>Source<\/b>: <\/span>NHK<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
