How long is the request for leave? What kind of industry is it? Differences in local governments New Corona May 5th 4:10
The "Emergency Declaration", which will expire on the 6th, will be extended until the 31st of this month. However, as the economic impact becomes more serious, local governments will ask companies to take a leave and the type of industry. Differences in thinking about the scope of are beginning to appear.
Of the 13 “precautionary prefectures” that require particularly focused efforts to prevent the spread of infection, Saitama Prefecture requested a business leave and refrain from going out of business by the prefecture at a countermeasure headquarters meeting held on the 4th. We officially decided to continue after this month.
The scope of industries requesting leave will remain the same as before, and may be revised depending on the situation.
On the other hand, Governor Oikawa of Ibaraki Prefecture, which is also designated as a "preferred vigilance prefecture," indicated that he would continue to request for suspension of work and refraining from going out until the 17th of this month.
Governor Oikawa said at the conference on the night of the 4th, “There is one or almost zero new infections in the prefecture, and if this situation continues, there is a high possibility that we will fall out of the specified alert prefectures. There is a need for an exit strategy to resume economic and social activities. "
In addition, Governor Fukuda of Tochigi Prefecture, which has not been designated as a “special vigilance prefecture”, indicated that he would consider canceling the leave request made by the prefecture in some industries after this month. Governor Fukuda said at the conference on the night of the 4th, "I would like to consider a certain degree of relaxation in order to protect the lives of the citizens of the prefecture. If I want to consider relaxation gradually next Monday or later," citing museums and galleries as an example. He showed the idea of considering canceling a leave request.
Many prefectures in the Tokyo and Kanto regions will decide the details of future leave requests from the 5th onward, but with the increasing economic impact, the period and types of leave-seeking business There is a difference in the way of thinking about.
