Following the new application of "Priority Measures to Prevent Spread" to three prefectures including Tokyo, the National Governors' Association held a meeting to call for refraining from moving across prefectures to prevent the spread of mutant virus infection. We have put together a proposal that requires the country to be thorough.
In addition to the three prefectures such as Osaka, the National Governors' Association held an online meeting in response to the new application of "Priority Measures for Prevention of Spread, etc." to the three prefectures of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Okinawa from the 12th.
Among them, Governor Koike of Tokyo said, "The violence of highly infectious mutant strains has been seen all over the country, and the number of infected people whose contact history with mutant strain infected people is unknown is increasing in Tokyo as well. We need to be aware that the battle with Corona has entered a new phase. "
In addition, Governor Nishiwaki of Kyoto Prefecture said, "I would like the government to promptly and clearly show the findings such as the susceptibility to infection and the degree of aggravation in order to prevent mutant strains."
Governor Tamaki of Okinawa Prefecture said, "We will respond to the fourth wave as soon as possible, but the essential financial resources are completely insufficient. The tourism-related industry, which has suffered great losses so far, will be hit harder. I strongly request an urgent response. "
At the meeting, the government will urge the government to make urgent recommendations and refrain from moving across prefectures in areas where the virus has spread and in order to prevent the spread of the mutant virus nationwide. We are requesting that local governments take financial measures so that they can provide their own support according to the actual situation.
In addition, in relation to vaccination for the elderly, which began on the 12th, promptly indicate a more specific supply schedule and allocation amount, and facilitate the smooth transition of priority vaccination from healthcare professionals to the elderly. I'm asking for things like that.
