And confirmed the policy of conducting the deliberations.
In addition, based on the Special Measures Law on Countermeasures against the New Coronavirus, the government will continue to discuss how to report to the Diet if the government issues an "Emergency Declaration."
Mr. Moriyama told reporters, "It is not a situation where a declaration is issued now, but I want to determine a certain direction so that it does not flutter. Since the declaration is heavy, there may be situations where private rights of the people are suppressed, It would be better for the Prime Minister to report in advance. "
On the other hand, Mr. Yasumi said, "When the government makes a declaration, it must be reported to the legislature and a place for members to express their opinions.
