Osaka Prefecture Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura (45) gave a demonstration of the “Chin Kake Mask Dinner” at the prefectural novel coronavirus countermeasures headquarters meeting held on the 26th, calling for rigor.

At the same meeting, Governor Yoshimura put his left and right hands on standby near both ears, before saying, “You may be suspicious of the intellectual level of Osaka Prefecture, but this is my intellectual level.” at the right moment, I lowered the mask to my chin and raised it again.

“I want to expand in this way. As Osaka prefectural administration, I can say I don’t want to say this! But I want something that cannot be done in administration, and a perfect score of 100 points. I don’t know the result. This one. it’s not a good way to do it. ” A motivated and aggressive attitude? It was emphasized.

The government decided to lift the new coronavirus emergency declaration at the end of February for a total of 6 prefectures, including Tokai 2 prefectures of Gifu and Aichi, Kyoto, Osaka, Kansai 3 prefectures of Hyogo and Fukuoka. At the headquarters meeting, it was decided to ask for “no more than 4 people to drink and dine, wear masks” and “refrain from viewing the cherry blossoms with welcome and farewell parties, appreciation parties and banquets” to avoid spread of infection in the spring season. .

Until now, to avoid droplets (himatsu) in restaurants, when eating and drinking, please hold an ear strap of the mask and slowly and carefully remove it, and after eating and drinking, please wear it again and enjoy the conversation. he asked, but did not take root.

The Osaka version is not fancy but it is easy and you can move the mask to your chin in one go. Regarding appearance when eating and drinking, Governor Yoshimura said, “Everyone may laugh at me.” An office worker in his thirties in Osaka said, “I feel relaxed when I drink alcohol.”[Ryuji Matsuura]
