In response, Izumi, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, pointed out that "the speech has no concrete measures in the most important part," and the opposition party asked a representative question about the policy speech starting on the 19th, and the government's measures against corona are unsuccessful. In addition to pursuing that it is sufficient, the policy is to request the strengthening of the PCR test system and the establishment of laws to strengthen the securing of beds, and to proactively propose improvement measures.
