From May 8, the position of COVID-19 under the Infectious Diseases Law will be changed to Class 5 infectious diseases. Therefore, we held a meeting of the COVID-19 Response Headquarters to confirm the current situation in the city, including the status of infection, and showed the response of the city after May 8.
The measures against COVID-19 infection will be shifted from government-led to independent measures for each and every one of us due to Class 5. We ask that you take appropriate measures to prevent infection based on appropriate judgment, such as hand washing, ventilation, avoiding three crows, and wearing a mask according to the situation.
Yokohama City will continue to provide necessary support, including providing information that contributes to your judgment.
