Declaration of Emergency "Extending the period for the whole country" Executive Director, Japan Medical Association April 28, 21:27
Regarding the declaration of emergencies associated with the spread of the new coronavirus infection, Mr. Satoshi Kama, a member of the government's expert council and a permanent director of the Japan Medical Association, said that "the decrease in the number of infected people is not enough". He expressed the idea that the period until the 6th of next month should be extended while still targeting.
At the press conference, Kamakura, Executive Director of the Japan Medical Association, said, "One of the major indicators to decide whether to extend the emergency situation is the medical service system in each region. Nosocomial infections occur once in regions with poor medical resources. Then, the situation becomes tense at a stretch, so it is necessary to prevent the number of infected people from increasing nationwide. "
In addition, "Three weeks after the declaration, the number of infected people has not reached the target as originally targeted. The reason for expanding the target nationwide is the risk of spreading the infection by moving people from areas with many infected people. But that concern will continue for a while, "he said, saying he should extend the period until the 6th of next month while still targeting the whole country.
