Returning home during the Obon season Thinking to ask experts for opinions, etc. Chief Cabinet Secretary August 3 12:25
While confirmation of infection with the new coronavirus is occurring one after another, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga did not request that the government uniformly refrain from returning home during the Obon season, and the infection spread to the elderly. To prevent it from happening, I showed the idea to ask an expert for points to note when returning home.
In relation to his homecoming during the Obon season, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura held a press conference on the 2nd this week because he could contagiously spread the infection to the elderly at a press conference on the 2nd. I showed the idea to ask an expert for opinions.
In response to this, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kan said in a press conference on the morning of the 3rd, "Minister Nishimura does not mean that he should refrain from moving across prefectures in a uniform manner. I said, "I didn't say what I was doing," and expressed the recognition that the government expressed the idea of seeking advice from experts regarding points to note when returning home.
Furthermore, regarding "GoTo Travel," "We target hotels and inns that have taken proper infection control measures, and thoroughly implement basic infection control measures, such as avoiding users from being overcrowded, washing hands, wearing masks, and not speaking out loud. If you do, you can significantly reduce the risk of infection."
In addition, "It is extremely important for politics to protect the lives of approximately 9 million travel-related people all over the country who are closely supporting the region and are in a state of death, and it is extremely important for politics. At the same time, we are carefully advancing socio-economic activities.”
