Along with the growing number of corona19 patients in Japan, Prime Minister Abe was criticized when he said that the corona experience could be a fortune of life. In addition, the Japanese government's countermeasures to give two masks to a house, not one person, also caused controversy.

This is a one-minute video posted by Prime Minister Abe on his SNS account last night.

It encourages new students at all levels of school and young people who have just entered the society, and some say that some people have been struggling with the recent spread of corona.

[Abe / Japan Prime Minister: Such an experience will surely become a great fortune for your future.]

As you may know the intention to support, criticism is accused of inappropriate content in recent days when Japanese corona entrants are exploding.

It is that the house is on fire and you are unfortunate to experience it even before you turn it off.

It is also controversial that the government's policy to give out two cloth masks to each house nationwide, which Abe announced yesterday after the countermeasure meeting.

The reality of the urgent economic countermeasures that the Japanese government is preparing for 'the largest in history' is whether two masks cost 200 yen per piece and 2,300 won per sheet.

[Suga / Japan Minister of Defense: It also has the effect of suppressing the demand for masks. The cost is about 200 yen per sheet (2,300 won).]

Among these, 97 confirmed people were added to Tokyo today.

Concerns about the explosion of infection are growing day by day, but it seems to be the core of the criticism that the government is not properly reflecting people's anxiety in policy and communication.
