Emergency Declaration 6:07 on April 10 to assess the need for additional measures to determine the government's response
In response to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government proclaiming its specific business types and types of facilities and requesting cooperation on leave of absence, the government decided to assess the effects of the Tokyo response and make contact with people. We will analyze the status of opportunities reduction and consider the necessity of additional measures such as requesting leave based on the “Emergency Declaration” and restricting the use of facilities.
Coordination has been promoted between the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which requires urgent action, and the government, which should respond cautiously, in response to requests for business operators to take time off due to the "Emergency Declaration."
On the night of September 9, the Minister for Economic Revitalization Nishimura and Tokyo Metropolitan Governor Koike met, and the capital announced the specific business types and types of facilities as a unique measure separate from the “Emergency Declaration”. We requested cooperation for holidays.
For the time being, the government will assess the effects of the Tokyo's unique response and analyze whether or not self-restraint will reduce the chance of contact between people to achieve the targeted 80% reduction, and request a leave of absence based on the declaration. We will consider the need for additional measures, such as restricting the use of facilities and facilities.
