Two-Way Declaration of Emergency Situation “Future Response Direction”, Economic Recovery Minister, April 22, 15:35
Two weeks have passed since the declaration of an emergency based on the law, and a government expert meeting was held, saying that there is a sense of crisis that Nishimura's minister in charge of economic revitalization is "not enough efforts." Then, we asked experts to analyze their efforts so far and to show the direction of future actions.
A government expert meeting was held on the 22nd at 2:00 pm and was attended by Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura and Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato who are in charge of measures against the new coronavirus.
At the beginning, Minister Nishimura said, “The number of new infections is increasing, including in rural areas, and there is a sense of crisis that the efforts may be insufficient. Many people are rushing to parks, tourist spots, supermarkets and shopping districts. I'm very worried about that, "he said.
In addition, “There are some areas in 34 prefectures other than the“ special caution prefectures ”that are not fully implementing actions to prevent the spread of infection. I would like to hear your opinion on how to prevent the spread of infection and to tackle the situation in the future. "
In addition, Mr. Kato said, "I would like to analyze and discuss the situation of behavior changes of citizens after the declaration of an emergency, and I would like to hear a rude opinion on the direction of future efforts based on that."
At the meeting, it seems that opinions are being exchanged over the increase and decrease in the number of people in each region, the transition of infection status, and the current state of the medical care provision system.
After the meeting, the expert meeting will announce the recommendations, and the content of the discussion will be reported to the government response headquarters held in the evening.
