Employees scheduled to be dispatched to the Games Organizing Committee For the time being to respond to the new type of corona Tokyo Metropolitan Government March 31 22:34

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will be working with some staff members who were scheduled to be dispatched to the Organizing Committee of the Games from the first day of the new fiscal year. I was asked to work for a while at a health center where I was concentrated.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government was planning to dispatch another 100 staff members to the Games Organizing Committee for the new year from the day before the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games were approaching.

However, in response to the spread of the new coronavirus and the postponement of the event, we temporarily stopped dispatching 50 of them, and for the time being were assigned to a department where work was concentrated due to the spread of the infection.

These 50 people will be responsible for office work and consultation related to testing at public health centers in Tokyo, and will also be involved in procedures related to subsidies for telework, which have been continually inquired by companies.

The rest of the staff will be dispatched to the Organizing Committee, but depending on the status of the spread of the infection in the future, it will be considered that they will respond to the new coronavirus.

According to Miyako, "health centers are at the forefront of responding to the new coronavirus. In addition, support needs for small and medium-sized enterprises are increasing. Given the situation of the spread of infection, we would like you to take countermeasures for the time being."
