  • Okinawa Pref. declares own state of emergency over virus to thwart health care collapse

    August 1, 2020 (Mainichi Japan)

    NAHA -- The Okinawa Prefectural Government declared its own state of emergency on July 31 following a recent surge in novel coronavirus infections.
    Okinawa Gov. Denny Tamaki announced that Japan's southernmost prefecture will be placed under a state of emergency between Aug. 1 and 15. The local government will ask residents to refrain from nonessential, nonurgent outings while calling for careful decisions about making trips to the prefecture from outside the prefecture.

    ... "A dramatic surge in infections has been seen, and a collapse of the health care system must be prevented at all costs. We are issuing a state of emergency to let you all know that we are at a critical stage," said Gov. Tamaki in a press conference on July 31.
