Shigeru Omi, chairman of the government subcommittee who attended the press conference of Prime Minister Suga, said about the current infection situation, "Infection has turned downward in Hokkaido, and the rate of increase is slowing down in Osaka. In Tokyo, the spread of infection continues, and the infection spreads to the surrounding prefectures, with 50% of the infected people nationwide in Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa prefectures. It has come to occupy. It is difficult to stop the spread of infection nationwide unless the infection in the metropolitan area is stopped. "
"I think that the movement of people will be restrained to some extent during the year-end and New Year holidays, but after the year-end and New Year holidays, there is a high possibility that social activities will become active and the number of infected people will increase rapidly again. With the rapid expansion, it is impossible and difficult to turn the infected person down on a weekly basis. We need to do everything we can to bring the infection down at this time of year. "
Furthermore, regarding the current situation, unlike the time when the state of emergency was declared, Mr. Omi has come to understand the "key points" to control the infection, but many people have become accustomed to the situation where the infection spreads, and the national and local governments We analyzed that it is difficult to obtain cooperation in the request.
Regarding the measures required on that basis, "The risk of infection through eating and drinking is extremely high, and it should be thoroughly suppressed, and even in places other than eating and drinking, a small number of people, preferably 4 or less people, should spend time with people who are always with them, and the country and Municipal leaders should give a clear message and take strong measures to get more public cooperation. It is possible to turn the infection situation downward by taking measures based on these key points. "
