The government's expert meeting will meet on Wednesday to reopen the school from the new semester, and will exchange opinions on the situation in Tokyo and other parts of the world where the outbreak of the new coronavirus is rapidly expanding. The government has responded by reviewing the guidelines to make them more concrete so that local governments can easily determine what to do after the new semester.

The government's expert meeting on the reopening of schools from the new semester held a meeting on the day after Prime Minister Abe expressed his intention to listen again from the expert meeting. We will exchange opinions about the expanding situation in Tokyo and other places.

In connection with this, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagiuida said on Wednesday that the direction of reopening from the new semester will remain the same, but "There are increasing numbers of infected people, such as Tokyo, who do not know the route of infection. It is necessary to take into account the possibility of implementing temporary school closure during the new semester as well. "

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) does not require uniform response from local governments after the new semester, but rather asks local governments to judge whether to resume schools based on the guidelines for reopening and closing schools mentioned above. .

In response to the opinion of the Experts' Meeting, we see that some local governments will be closed, and we will review the guidelines to make them more concrete so that local governments can easily determine what to do after the new semester. .
