It’s a bit hard to see, but Kumamoto is one of the prefectures in red, with a high number of weekly new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 people. Of the prefectures that have not been declared by the national government to be in a state of emergency or designated in some other way as being at particular risk, Kumamoto is 6th with a rate of 38.22 per 100,000 per week. This infection rate exceeds one of the criteria for the government’s “stage 4” category (over 25 per 100,000). – Kirk
