The number of newly infected patients is on a downward trend, and the utilization rate of hospital beds has dropped below 20%. In addition, the prefectural government announced that from tomorrow, the criteria for certification of infection control measures for restaurants would be reduced from 40 items to 32 items. Specifically, based on experts&#8217; opinions, installing acrylic panels on cash registers in restaurants will no longer be necessary. However, Fukuoka Prefecture will continue to call for basic infection control measures such as avoidance of three-density zones, ventilation, and vaccination. It will also continue offering free testing for those concerned about infection. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pref.fukuoka.lg.jp\/contents\/covid19emergency-details.html#keihoukaizyo\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka Prefecture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20221005\/5010017667.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149067\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_corona-alert-end-oct-6_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1097&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Prefecture Ends Corona Alert on Oct. 5\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_corona-alert-end-oct-6_2022_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_corona-alert-end-oct-6_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C235&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_corona-alert-end-oct-6_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C802&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_corona-alert-end-oct-6_2022_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C602&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
