Do you have a simple meal extension or can't see the center completed in Corona Chiba Tateyama June 3 12:06
The construction of a school lunch center in Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture cannot be predicted due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and there is a possibility that "simple meals" such as rice and milk will continue for a long time in elementary and junior high schools.
The school lunch center in Tateyama City became unusable due to typhoon No. 15 last September, and children attending kindergartens and elementary and junior high schools in Tateyama City can enjoy a "simple lunch" such as rice, milk, sprinkles, or a lunch brought from home. The situation of eating is continuing.
During this time, a new school lunch center was under construction, with the city initially expecting completion this September.
However, the new coronavirus has made it difficult to import hygiene-related materials from China, and there is no prospect of obtaining parts for electrical equipment.
Following the cancellation of the emergency declaration, the children started going to elementary and junior high schools as usual from the 1st, but it is completely unknown when the simple school lunch will end.
Shigeki Sugada, director of the Tateyama City School Lunch Center, said, “We will place a burden on children and their parents. We would like to ask for their understanding and cooperation.”
