Government notify prefectures to consider refraining from Halloween, etc. October 27, 5:55
Regarding measures against the new coronavirus, the government will provide appropriate security to prevent crowds of people during seasonal events such as Halloween and New Year's Eve, and if difficult, ask prefectures to consider calling for self-restraint. I have notified you.
The government said on the 26th that in addition to Halloween this weekend, there is a risk that infection control will be inadequate if a large number of people gather for seasonal events such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, and the first sunrise of the year. I sent a notification to the address.
According to this, we are requesting that appropriate security be provided so that an unspecified number of people are not crowded as much as possible, and if it is difficult, we should consider calling for self-restraint.
In addition, when participating in an event, we would like you to thoroughly implement basic infection control measures, refrain from participating in drinking alcohol as much as possible, and make it known that you should consider new ways of enjoying such as participating in online events.
At a press conference, Mr. Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, said, "At events with organizers, efforts are underway to balance infection prevention and activities, but" denseness "can occur naturally without an organizer. It's possible, "he said, calling attention.
