Regarding the "priority measures such as prevention of spread" of 31 prefectures with a deadline of March 6, the Minister in Charge of Japan's new corona measures will be integrated with metropolitan areas such as the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area when deciding to cancel or extend. Instead of dealing with it, he showed the idea of making a judgment for each individual municipality.
At a press conference, the Minister in Charge of Japan's new corona, Yamagiwa, requested that the 31 prefectures with a deadline of March 6 be canceled, while Osaka Prefecture requested an extension. I made it clear that there is.
Then, the reporters asked, "Are the 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures that have applied the priority measures together to extend or cancel them?" As an economic zone, we have to restrict our actions, and even if we implement them separately, there is no effect, so we have said that we should see them as a whole, but when we lift them, the opposite is true. "
On top of that, "It is a basic tactic to have them released from where they can, and basically it is not necessary to have them aligned. It is the same not only in the metropolitan area of 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, but also in the Chukyo area and the Kinki area." He stated that he would not treat metropolitan areas such as the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area as one, and would decide to cancel or extend priority measures for each local government.
