Dry ice supply crisis in Okinawa Prefecture due to factory trouble at manufacturer outside the prefecture: Funeral services provider: "Huge impact on preserving bodies"

Of the two companies selling dry ice in Okinawa Prefecture, Okano (Naha City) has suspended shipments since the 17th. The reason is that a manufacturer outside the prefecture that supplies the product had a problem at its factory, which caused production to be halted. Okano states on its website that it "cannot provide a clear schedule," but according to sources, there is information that production will partially resume within the week.
