State of Emergency declared for Fukuoka

On January 13, a state of emergency (*1) was declared for seven prefectures throughout Japan, including Fukuoka Prefecture. While the number of infections may seem low compared to the Kanto and Kansai regions, the number per 100,000 people is the sixth highest in Japan. Fukuoka Prefecture has reached Stage 4 according to several indicators proposed by a government specialist panel, resulting in the emergency declaration being issued for the prefecture to prevent the situation from worsening if infections continue at the current rate.
