Decided by University of Fukui
Headquarters for COVID-19 Crisis Control

On May 21, the Japanese Government changed areas where emergency measures should be taken from 8
prefectures (Hokkaido, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo) to 5 prefectures (Hokkaido,Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo and Kanagawa). As of May 25, the Declaration of a State of Emergency has been lifted in
all prefectures, as it is deemed that the emergency situation measures are no longer necessary.
Responding this, Fukui released the response guideline in Fukui from July 10.
