Chiba Prefecture does not use it as criteria to request cancellation as “the decision to cancel is taken by the government” (Governor Kensaku Morita), but Governor Motohiro Ohno of Saitama Prefecture says “I want to work together towards the goal” and hospitalized patients. If the average number of people per week falls below 500, the declaration will be requested to be lifted.
On the other hand, Kanagawa Prefecture did not set a numerical target. Governor Yuji Kuroiwa stated that he was cautious with the numerical targets, saying: “I recognize that it is comparable to the prefectures whose statements have been raised in advance.”
