Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Nogami is expected to cancel all emergency declarations for "Go To Eat" meal tickets that stimulate demand for eating out, so that prefectures can decide whether to resume sales. He showed his intention to support as a country.
Of the "Go To Eat" that stimulates demand for eating out, the business of issuing premium meal tickets for each prefecture started in October last year, but sales of meal tickets have been suspended due to the spread of the new corona infection. Currently, 35 prefectures are suspending sales and calling for refraining from using the service.
At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 28th, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Nogami continued to work closely on the project after the state of emergency was lifted, saying, "We will continue to work closely so that prefectures can consider measures while assessing the status of infection in the region. We would like to cooperate with the government, "he said, and expressed his intention to support the national government by providing information so that prefectures can decide whether to resume sales of meal tickets.
In addition, when asked whether to re-extend the expiration date of the meal voucher, which was extended from the end of March to December at the longest, Minister Nogami said, "There are many uncertainties such as infection status. We would like to refrain from predicting the direction at this point, but we will make appropriate decisions based on the future infection status and the execution status of each region. "
