As the government considers the areas and timings for canceling the state of emergency, the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus has put together a proposal for measures to prevent the spread of infection again after the declaration is lifted, and has a dinner. We have shown specific measures such as points to note when doing so and refraining from graduation trips.
On the 25th, a subcommittee of the government held a round-table meeting and put together a draft proposal on the measures required after the state of emergency was lifted.
Among them, he said that if the state of emergency is lifted, there is a concern that infection control will be neglected as a social atmosphere, and "rebound" = preventing the re-spread of infection is the most important issue.
On top of that, regarding measures in areas where the declaration has been lifted, dinner should be limited to four people who are always nearby, except for family members living together, and graduation trips and welcome and farewell parties should be avoided, and cherry blossom viewing should be held without banquets. In addition to showing specific points for each scene, such as, adjusting the ventilation and the number of people in the store based on the concentration of carbon dioxide for the restaurant, and the volume of music so that the voice of conversation does not become loud. We want to minimize.
In addition, for the national and local governments, in order to detect signs of rebound at an early stage, in groups and places where the risk of infection is considered to be high, a wide range of tests focusing on asymptomatic persons should be conducted, and staff of facilities for the elderly should be conducted. We are demanding that regular inspections be carried out steadily.
On top of that, if a sign of rebound is confirmed, it will be possible to carry out intensive PCR tests and requests to shorten business hours, and if necessary, the national government will be able to intensively respond to prefectures. We requested that "priority measures such as prevention of spread" be applied.
In the subcommittee, Chairman Shigeru Omi will hold a press conference to explain the summarized recommendations on the night of the 25th.
