北海道 警戒レベル3へ引き上げ

On November 7, Hokkaido raised the alert stage from 2 to 3 due to the rapid spread of the disease.

The governor and the mayor of the city held a joint press conference and asked restaurants in the Susukino area to reduce their opening hours.

As the number of hospitalized patients has reached 314, there are concerns that the medical system may be compromised.

Hokkaido and the city of Sapporo will step up their countermeasures until the 27th of this month.

About 4,000 restaurants will be affected.

They have decided to provide 200,000 yen in cooperation and support to all businesses that respond to the request.
