We're not thinking of asking the central government to issue a state of emergency for Osaka Prefecture as the rise in new cases is not as sharp as that for the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Instead, we will urge residents of Osaka to refrain from traveling between the prefecture and areas to be covered by a state of emergency.

@Reckless - I was thinking the same thing. Will be interesting to see if his position shifts on the issue.
