The national government reported 327 nursery closures in 27 prefectures on the same day, including Saga, Oita, Kagoshima, and Okinawa. The situation in Fukuoka City has been severe as well; as of Jan. 20, 15 nurseries out of 456 were closed. The city responded to the situation by allowing those nurseries to find individuals who had close contact with COVID-19 patients on their own, aiming to avoid extended facility closures due to the overloaded work at local health centers and enable parents to go back to their jobs as early as possible.<\/span><b> Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.kitakyushu.lg.jp\/ko-katei\/k12100064.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kitakyushu City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOUA244J00U2A120C2000000\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikkei<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-144363\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fnn_-nurseries-image_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fnn_-nurseries-image_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fnn_-nurseries-image_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fnn_-nurseries-image_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/fnn_-nurseries-image_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> Photo by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photo-ac.com\/main\/detail\/4329052\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo AC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Disclaimer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area news for those who cannot read Japanese.
