Ryozo Nagai, chairman of the government's expert meeting to verify measures against the new corona, asked the government to address the issues raised in this verification at a press conference on the 21st, and pointed out that verification is still necessary.
On the 15th of this month, the government's meeting of experts said that while the number of people who died in the corona response so far was suppressed compared to Western countries, "legal measures to secure beds are not sufficient and medical care is tight. After pointing out issues such as "has happened," we have compiled a report that requires the development of a government command tower organization that centrally directs infectious disease control.
On the 21st, one week after issuing the report, Chairman Nagai held a press conference and summarized the verification conducted this time, saying, "Japan has achieved great results in terms of the number of infected people and the number of deaths compared to other countries. However, the burden on the medical field and the burden on socio-economic activities are not very convincing to the public. We were able to discuss how to pass on the lessons to be solved. "
He said, "The government's command tower organization must watch the study and reports of the plan to see if it is being used for countermeasures." I asked you to be able to respond quickly.
In addition, Mr. Nagai said, "I don't think this is the end of the verification. Take your time." There will be as many problems as possible. We should continue to verify from a different standpoint. "
At this press conference, shooting with a TV camera was not allowed except for the opening remarks, but Chairman Nagai said, "It was decided by the Cabinet Secretariat," and the Cabinet Secretariat said, "To have the answer answered in a calm environment." I made it like this. "
