Shigeru Omi, chairman of the Advisory Committee on the Basic Response Policy, who attended the press conference of Prime Minister Suga, said that he would introduce a strong infection control mechanism such as lockdown. High-risk scenes and situations are the same as before, and it is possible to control to some extent if high-risk scenes can be thoroughly suppressed, such as eating and drinking with people who are not usually together or gathering with a large number of people. At this stage, I don't need to create a situation where the city is completely empty. "
On top of that, "The dilemma facing Japan is that although there is a mechanism to limit businesses such as restaurants, there are cases where only request-based measures can be taken for citizens. Although there are legally difficult discussions. There is an opinion that we would like you to immediately consider the construction of a new legal system that enables individuals to avoid behaviors with a high risk of infection and the utilization of the current legal system. It was a meeting. "
In addition, regarding the index used to determine whether to cancel the state of emergency that is currently being issued, "The number of newly infected people is of course an important factor, but as the vaccination rate is improving, the number of severely ill people and I think it is necessary to give more weight to indicators related to medical pressure, such as whether the number of hospitalized patients will increase. "
It is also necessary to look at the number of people who are being adjusted for hospitalization
Regarding how to determine the effect of the state of emergency that is being issued now, "It is naturally necessary to monitor the number of seriously ill people and the number of inpatients, but in the face of tight local medical resources, home medical treatment It is also necessary to take a close look at the number of people, medical care recipients, and people who are adjusting for hospitalization. In addition, it was found that the transition of the flow of people in the downtown area correlates considerably with the transition of the number of newly infected people. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the indicators that show the status of such contact opportunities. We would like to discuss the specifics with experts in the future. "
Currently, it is necessary to work harder on various disaster medical measures.
"Today's subcommittee will create a new system so that medical personnel involved in general medical care such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia can receive medical care for the new corona as much as possible in their respective roles. There was an argument that I would like you to consider using it in the current legal rules. However, I think it is necessary to consider such a legal mechanism, but the current situation is disaster medical care. It is not enough to have such a mechanism alone. It is necessary to work harder on various measures regardless of the existence of the law, and the creation of a legal mechanism is one of them. I think it's part of it. "
Immediate maintenance of accommodation facilities The government has taken strong measures
Regarding the ideal medical care provision system, "When the infection situation reaches this point, it is more efficient to immediately improve the accommodation facilities and care for the infected people there, and it is also good to concentrate medical resources, so to the government. I and the subcommittee expect that I would like to ask for strong measures. The number of beds to secure the new corona has doubled since last year, but the momentum of the Delta stock is not enough. It is very efficient to see as many infected people as possible at the accommodation, so I would like you to proceed even more strongly. "
In addition, there is an opinion that the legal treatment of the new coronavirus should be the same level as seasonal influenza, etc. It is clearly different from seasonal influenza because it may continue for a long time. It is not necessary to change to the same level as influenza at this stage because the response to hospitalization etc. is actually flexibly operated. I hope that the era of treatment like influenza will come soon as vaccination progresses. I think that it should be discussed drastically when that happens. "
Governor Koike's individual behavior restrictions "Please give a firm discussion"
Shigeru Omi, chairman of the government subcommittee, said after the meeting on the 17th, "We have completely restricted the actions of the general public on a request basis. We assume that we cannot overcome this situation simply by asking for cooperation. , There was a strong opinion that we would like you to immediately consider the construction of a legal system and the solid operation of the current law. "
Governor Koike of Tokyo, who was asked by reporters about this explanation, said, "I want to say,'Are you now?' It is necessary to discuss what should be done legally and how much to secure it. Please give a firm discussion again. However, we cannot spend time on it. That is why now We will do what we need to do with the cooperation of everyone as the capital. "
