Following the cancellation of the subsidy of 30 million yen by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry over the outdoor music festival held in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Kajiyama once again thoroughly implemented infection control measures for the event industry. I asked.
Regarding the music festival held in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, a subsidy of 30 million yen was issued on the condition that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will take infection control measures as a support measure for events affected by the new corona late last month. I had decided.
However, on the 7th of this month, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry decided to cancel the subsidy because the infection control measures were not thoroughly implemented and alcohol was being provided.
Regarding this, Minister Kajiyama said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 10th, "It should be that we adhere to the guidelines decided by each industry and take infection control measures including our own efforts, but unfortunately It hasn't been done. There are infected people from people who actually went to see it, "he criticized.
On top of that, he said, "I understand that the subsidy was given when the industry asked me to follow the guidelines because the current situation is severe, so I would like the organizers and participants to continue to work hard. I want you to follow the infection control measures. "
