Governors of Japan urgent statement "The government should cooperate with local governments to implement measures" February 25, 19:39

President Iizumi of the National Governors' Association held a press conference in Tokyo on the evening of the 25th, and issued an urgent statement urging the government to cooperate fully with local governments and take effective measures.

It calls on the State to provide all prefectures with information on infected people and routes, and to present a unified standard for information disclosure.

We are also calling for assistance in strengthening the local inspection system and the acceptance of severely ill patients, as well as promptly normalizing the supply of masks and disinfectants to the market.

Furthermore, in order to minimize the impact on the local economy, we are calling for the implementation and dissemination of support measures and employment measures for small and medium-sized businesses and small businesses.

At a press conference, Chairman Iizumi said, "We have requested the government to present uniform standards for information disclosure, but they have not yet realized them. Since prefectures cannot respond to disparities, we have to promptly present them. In order to contain the outbreak at an early stage, it is necessary to take a wide-ranging perspective, rather than relying on a single prefecture. "
