With the issuance of the state of emergency, the government has decided to change the "basic response policy" for measures against the new coronavirus, requesting restaurants that serve alcohol to be closed, and the last trains of subways and buses. We are planning to include advancement and reduction of flights.
In the draft of the basic coping policy to be changed this time, in addition to further strengthening measures in the eating and drinking scene, measures to curb the flow of people will be taken in light of the increasing number of people infected with the mutant virus. , We are going to work on thorough infection control.
Specifically, in areas subject to the state of emergency,
▽ requests for closure of restaurants that provide alcohol and karaoke facilities, and
▽ shortened business hours to 8:00 pm for other restaurants as well. I am requesting you to do so.
In addition, the target prefectures should be strictly discouraged from using restaurants that do not respond to requests for leave or shortening of business hours, and there is a risk of infection such as group drinking on the streets or in parks. Calls attention to high behavior.
In addition,
except for retail stores that sell daily necessities, we will request closures for facilities used by many people with a total floor area of more than 1000 square meters,
and we will consider closing or closing public facilities. I'm asking you to do it.
As a general rule, we request that events be held without spectators, except for those necessary for maintaining social life.
In addition, it is requesting transportation companies such as subways and buses to cooperate in advancing the last train on weekdays, reducing flights on weekends and holidays, and conducting temperature measurements at major terminals.
In addition, from the perspective of preventing the spread of infection to other areas, it is urged to refrain from unnecessary and unurgent movement between prefectures as much as possible.
In addition, we aim to reduce the number of employees who go to work by 70% by utilizing telecommuting and encouraging employees to take vacations during the Golden Week holidays.
It does not require the school to take a uniform temporary leave, but it does request that activities with a high risk of infection, such as club activities, be restricted or refrained from doing so.
On the other hand, in order to secure the medical care provision system, the government will support the dispatch of medical personnel, and when the infection spreads rapidly, the beds necessary for dealing with infectious diseases will be included, including the timely restriction of general medical care. It is said that accommodation facilities will be secured promptly.
The government will decide on a proposal to change the "basic response policy" at the countermeasures headquarters, which will open on the night of the 23rd, after hearing opinions from experts.
