Sado City, Niigata Prefecture, is judged to be a close contact of a person infected with the new coronavirus during his stay so that he can visit the island with peace of mind for sightseeing and school trips, and will stay if he cannot move from the island for a certain period of time. We are making efforts to bear part of the cost.
If the new coronavirus is judged to be a close contact while staying on a remote island, it will be required to stay on the island for two weeks of health observation, and there is concern that the accommodation fee will increase accordingly.
For this reason, Sado City, Niigata Prefecture, has begun an initiative to pay 5,000 yen, which is half the accommodation fee, together with the "Sado Tourist Ryokan Federation" when spending a health observation period at an accommodation facility designated by the city. ..
According to the city, it seems that there is no example in major islands nationwide that local governments and others will bear part of the cost of stay when they are judged to be close contacts.
Mayor Ryugo Watanabe said, "We will work as a safety net. We will thoroughly check the health before coming to the island and maximize the number of tourists to pick up." I want to pay attention to it. "
