Signs of corona expansion signs Thorough infection prevention measures "Go To Campaign" July 13 4:36
Since the confirmation of new coronavirus infections has been confirmed one after another, mainly in Tokyo and elsewhere, the government is wary that there are signs that the infection will spread. From 22nd of this month, the “Go To Campaign” to stimulate consumption will be started, and we will call again for thorough measures to prevent infections and support the efforts of each local government.
The number of new people infected with the new coronavirus reached 206 in Tokyo on the 12th, exceeding 200 on four consecutive days, and 32 people were confirmed to be infected in Osaka as well. The number of infected people is increasing mainly in metropolitan areas, such as reaching the signal standard.
Nishimura, Minister for Economic Recovery, pointed out, “The rate of unknown infection routes has increased, and there is a slight increase in the number of cases across the country. It is a situation where we must respond with caution.”
On the other hand, the government should take into consideration that the number of infected people is increasing as a result of urging them to take positive PCR tests, so they will change their policy of expanding economic activities while thoroughly implementing infection prevention measures. First of all, from 22nd of this month, we will start discounting domestic travel charges such as accommodation prices in the “Go To Campaign” that stimulates consumption.
However, some people are worried about the spread of infection due to increased migration of people from metropolitan areas such as Tokyo, where the number of infected people is increasing.
For this reason, the government once again calls for thorough measures to prevent infection, such as requiring people who are not in good physical condition to refrain from moving, including going out. The policy is to support the efforts.
