Latest COVID-19 conditions

Yesterday, an infected person also appeared on Iriomote Island in Taketomi Town. It means that there are 12 rich contacts. It seems that the results of the PCR test of the concentrated contact will be released on the 7th, and I am nervous even on a small island. Taketomi Town has no facilities for hospitalization, and Ishigaki Island is already full of beds. Unnecessary emergency declaration of emergency in Okinawa Prefecture has become the entire prefecture, including remote islands.
Even tourists are at the airport, and there is a risk that carriers will carry the virus during transportation. If you come to the island, please take further measures against infection.
The city of Ishigaki Island is quiet.

The treasure of Ishigaki Island that I love! Tourists must wear a mask for grandpa and grandma!
The old man on the island said. ..
"The person who isn't wearing a mask is the scariest. ]
Come thank you.

Taketomi Island has a mandala for the next year's celebration ※ Ishigaki Island is also called Kajimaya.
There is a grand parade of grandfathers and grandmothers, who are 97 years old, riding a buffalo car and heading for the drum and flute team of the elementary and junior high schools on the island.
My favorite Taketomijima grandfather will welcome a mandala at the age of 97 next year. I am an old man who has been looking forward to it for many years. It is a treasure on the island that has survived the times of war and turbulence.
I would like to keep Corona away from him so that he can be a healthy mandala next year. To do so, we need the kind cooperation of tourists visiting the island.
Please take measures against infectious diseases and wear a mask.
A request from Nini!

It is the state of the Euglena Ishigaki remote island terminal yesterday.
Usually every year there are many people waiting to board a high-speed boat and many people waiting in line to buy tickets. It is quiet.

☆To everyone who plans to visit remote islands☆
I think that if you go to a remote island, the scenery that is far from reality will spread ☆ I think there was a lot of stress and patience at stay homes.
And you will be glad with the feeling of liberation in the superb view! !!
I'm sure it will make me feel like that too!

I have a request from Nini (^^)

But I hope you will take a breath and calm down.

I think that each of the islands there also has a life of "Island Chu," who is an islander, and is scared of viruses.

There are no hospitals on small islands, only small clinics.

The islanders also have their own Yaninju (family)
I hope you can think of it.

Think of yourself as a grandpa, grandma, child, nephew, niece. .. .. Think of your face (^^)

I think it's a family and I just want to visit the remote islands.

You will be happy with the sense of liberation! But I hope you will take a breather and enjoy sightseeing while feeling kind and caring.

I'm a request from Shima Nchu and Nini☆

・Currently, in the arrival lobby of the airport on Ishigaki Island, the prefecture commissions a private company to measure the body temperature of arriving passengers using artificial intelligence type thermography. For people above 37.5 degrees, take a thermometer again to measure body temperature. Even if the value exceeds the set value, the city staff will transfer it to the Yaeyama Hospital with the customer's consent and carry out the PCR test and the antigen test for which the result will be known in about 30 minutes.
