Analysis of effects such as voluntary refraining from the government With a view to stronger measures, 4:22 on April 22
With the spread of the new coronavirus, the government will carefully analyze whether two weeks have passed since the declaration of an emergency and the effects of refraining from going out can be seen. With a view to taking stronger measures for businesses that do not respond to requests for cooperation for leave, we aim to reduce 80% of opportunities for contact with people.
Two weeks have passed since the emergency declaration based on the Act on Special Measures against New Coronavirus was issued to seven prefectures such as Tokyo.
Prime Minister Abe said, "We would like you to refrain from going out in order to reduce the burden on the medical field as much as possible and to protect your own health and life", and called for further cooperation.
The government will hold an expert meeting and a countermeasures headquarters on the 22nd to exchange opinions on the increase and decrease in the number of people in each region and the trends in infection status.
Two weeks have passed since the declaration, and we will carefully analyze whether the effects of going out and refraining from going out can be seen.
On the other hand, regarding the request for cooperation on leave that is being carried out in various places, Nishimura's Minister for Economic Revitalization pointed out, "Unfortunately, there are cases where pachinko parlors do not follow the request, and there are cases where people gather across prefectures." .
Since more than one governor has received consultations about not being able to respond to requests for cooperation, the government is looking to take stronger measures such as requests and instructions from the governor, and the disclosure of the name of the business. We aim to reduce 80% of contact opportunities.
