Government will continue to analyze the status of infection in the Declaration of Emergency, April 11 4:02

With the spread of the new coronavirus, Aichi Prefecture has issued its own emergency declaration, and Kyoto has been calling for it to be included in the declaration under the law. The government will continue to analyze infection status, saying that these municipalities have not reached the stage where the number of infected people is rapidly increasing.

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, in areas other than the seven prefectures such as Tokyo that were subject to the “Emergency Declaration,” Aichi Prefecture issued its own emergency declaration on October 10 to request self-restraint such as going out. Following that, Gifu and Mie prefectures have each issued their declarations, and Kyoto has been calling for it to be included in the declarations under the law.

Regarding this situation, the Minister for Economic Revitalization Nishimura said, "We welcome the efforts of each prefecture with a high sense of crisis." Has not been reached. "

The government, together with experts, intends to continue to carefully analyze the number of infected people and the proportion of people who cannot determine the transmission route.

On the other hand, Tokyo Metropolitan Governor Koike announces six business formats and facilities that require the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to cooperate with the suspension of business as a measure that can be performed with the governor's authority even if no declaration has been issued, and it will be implemented from November 11. I am.

The government has announced that it is now in the stage of calling for a wide range of cooperation, such as self-restraint of going out. We plan to hold a video conference with the Governor and share the information.

Whether to take additional measures, such as a “request” based on the “Emergency Declaration” when the spread of infection cannot be controlled or “instructions” if the request is not responded, depends on the effects of the ongoing efforts. I will consider carefully.
