Keidanren Chairman Tokura commented on the government's decision to add four prefectures, Saitama, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Osaka, to the target areas of the state of emergency. In the background, the fight against the new coronavirus is in a difficult phase. We take it as unavoidable to expand the area covered by the state of emergency and extend the period. "
On top of that, "It is necessary to take this opportunity to take measures to prevent infection with a stronger sense of crisis than ever before. Acceleration of vaccination is now the only key to ending the spread of infection, and the final declaration. In order to do so, I would like to ask the government to secure the necessary amount of vaccine and urgently inoculate the working generation. "
