Emergency Declaration Nursery school response in Tokyo 20:18 on April 7

Some of the nursery schools in Tokyo that were subject to the Declaration of Emergency have decided to take their own actions before the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and ward issued specific policies.

At a nursery school in Itabashi Ward

At Wakatake Kanae Nursery School in Itabashi Ward, there are currently about 70 children.

The policy has not been announced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government yet, but in order to reduce the risk of transmission to children in the facility, we decided our own response to reduce the number of users and told parents on the 7th .

The nursery school has been urging parents to take care of their children at home, but has been asking them to refrain from attending the school. I decided to make a stronger request.

However, guardians are excluded from self-restraint if they are engaged in medical, lifeline, social welfare, logistics or other industries that are indispensable to their daily lives, or if they have difficulties in childcare at home. It is to accept the use as it is.

In addition, the document distributed to parents said, "Nursery schools cannot compensate for employment and wages, and cannot prevent 100% infection," urging them to use nursery schools at their own risk.

A mother with a 2-year-old child said, "I think it is reasonable to request a nursery school considering the safety of children and staff. I would like to talk with my husband and cooperate so that I can avoid going to the school as much as possible." I was talking.

"When we thought about what we could do to reduce the risk of infection, we had to take measures to reduce the number of users. However, some parents must keep working. There are people who can't, and given that we can respond according to the circumstances, I think it's better to be able to judge each facility instead of closing the park all at once. "

At a nursery school in Nerima Ward

Nerima Ward in Tokyo Nerima Ward considers taking care of children only in families who never take a break from work, but finally holds a meeting on the 8th in light of the forthcoming Tokyo policy. I'm going to decide.

For this reason, nursery schools in the ward are struggling to respond to inquiries from parents, etc. I was worried, but when the policy from the ward came out, I could only tell you.Since it was late after the emergency declaration was issued, I made an assumption in advance and responded to the ward I told them that parents and staff would be in trouble if they didn't get it. "

Mr. Yaskawa said, “While it is not possible to go out in Europe and the United States, the relationship between children and children, I think that it is difficult to protect children in such a situation because there are cases where the children have become suffocated.I would like you not to come to nursery schools as much as possible to prevent infection, but if it is difficult, nursery schools I'm going to tell my parents that I'm okay with me. "

At a nursery in Shibuya Ward

Although the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has not provided a detailed policy on how to handle daycare centers, Shibuya City has informed its parents and related parties that childcare facilities and other facilities in the city will be closed temporarily on the 6th.

However, for families whose guardians are all police officers, firefighters, and medical staff who do not take care of their children, special care is provided at six childcare facilities in the city.

In other households, children are accepted only when it is difficult to take care of them at home, such as those who cannot take time off work or leave their children anywhere.

A person in charge of Shibuya Ward said, "There are pros and cons, but we want to realize childcare for those who need it while responding to the purpose of the declaration of emergency to minimize the number of people who go out."
