As the infection of the new coronavirus spreads again in Tokyo and other areas, Shigeru Omi, chairman of the government subcommittee, has spoken out calling for thorough infection control before the four consecutive holidays, summer vacation, and the Olympics.

They say that the last two months are "just a mountain" and demand that they refrain from moving across prefectural borders as much as possible in order to curb the spread of infection as much as possible.

Chairman Omi of the subcommittee held a press conference on the afternoon of the 16th and announced a discourse entitled "To prevent the spread of infection during the summer vacation".



In this, it is said that the current infection situation has become clear in large cities centered on Tokyo, and the possibility of further spread of infection is increasing.



In the future, there will be more opportunities for more people to increase, such as four consecutive holidays, summer vacation, Obon festival, and the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. He emphasizes that it is necessary to suppress it as much as possible.



On top of that, as a concrete measure that is particularly necessary at this time, we will refrain from moving across prefectural borders as much as possible in order to suppress the spread of infection as much as possible, and even if the elderly people who are returning home have already been vaccinated twice, they will return home. We are requesting you to meet after taking sufficient infection prevention measures from 2 weeks before.



In addition, recently, a study by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases revealed that the risk of infection increases with a large number of people and eating and drinking for a long time. I asked him to refrain from having a dinner.



Furthermore, when eating out, I would like you to use restaurants that are certified by the local government to take measures against infection, and refrain from eating out at home for a large number of people and so-called "drinking on the street".



He requested that he support the Tokyo Olympics, which will be held from next week, at home and refrain from supporting a large number of people in the open space, on the streets, and in restaurants.
