In response to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus infection in urban areas, a law-based "Emergency Declaration" was issued to seven prefectures, including Tokyo.
In response to this, on the morning of the 8th, the governors of seven prefectures including Tokyo and Osaka, who participated in the meeting, attended online, and the Emergency Response Headquarters of the National Governors' Association was held.
Governor Koike said in this context, “It is necessary to have strong coordination between local governments that have the country and the field, despite being regarded as a national crisis.”
"This is a battle against enemies that are invisible unlike a disaster. Tokyo has a large population and the number of infected people is an order of magnitude higher than in other parts of the world. I'd like to take a tailored response. "
After that, the meeting decided to compile an urgent proposal for the government to compensate for losses caused by self-restraint of events and business activities and to establish a healthcare delivery system.
