The meeting time was divided into two to avoid congestion, but it became an issue for the future due to the busy hours such as reception.
Mayor of Shibata City, Kaoru Nikaido
"There are many cases where we haven't decided for mass inoculation, but we thought that we wouldn't know until we tried it anyway, so we conducted a simulation. I think it will take longer, but as much as possible. I want to prepare for it. "
