"Declaration of emergency" Asking nursery school to consider acceptance reduction Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare 4:17 on April 17
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is demanding to consider reducing the acceptance of nursery schools in areas where the emergency declaration has been expanded nationwide and is newly targeted, as in the case of the seven prefectures where Tokyo has already been declared an emergency.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is considering reducing the acceptance scale of daycare centers by requesting parents and others who are absent from work to refrain from going to the park in areas where an emergency has been declared. We are requesting similar responses for the region.
In addition, if children or staff are infected or if the infection is significantly spreading in the area, consider temporary closure, and in each case those who must work to maintain the functioning of medical staff and society, In addition, the local government will consider providing the necessary childcare for those who cannot take work off in single-parent families.
However, in the seven prefectures where an emergency has already been declared, there are differences in the subject to ask for refraining from entering the park and the decision to close the park. It is a place.
Of these, 141 are the majority, with Shibuya-ku and Toshima-ku, Tokyo, which have been closed as a general rule in response to a declaration of an emergency, and have been providing childcare by consolidating them at some daycare centers.
In addition, there are 20 nursery schools in 15 prefectures where children and childcare workers are infected and are closed.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare says, "I want you to pay maximum attention to the prevention of infection and provide childcare to those who need it."
