Discrimination against people infected with the new coronavirus may cause serious human rights violations and affect infection control measures, and national working groups may be held legally liable for discriminatory acts. We have put together a draft report that requires the government to take measures such as making people aware of the fact.
The working group interviewed the affected schools and hospitals, as well as organizations that take measures against illegal writing on the Internet, and compiled a draft report on the actual situation of discrimination against infected people and the required measures. It was.

It is said that the activities are also negatively affected.
And, as an actual example, ▽ bullying to children of hospital staff and care workers who deal with infection, refusal to take care of nursery schools, spreading of photos of school students with clusters on SNS, and infection The working group should make it known to the public that such acts may be legally liable, citing hiring for reasons such as hiring.
In addition, it is said that cases of damage have been confirmed triggered by the information announced and reported by the local government, and it is basic to balance the publication of information useful for preventing the spread of infection and the protection of personal information. However, we are requesting the government to show its thinking so that information that leads to the identification and discrimination of infected persons will not be released.
