Declaration of emergencies “It will be difficult to cancel the whole area on the 6th of next month” The opinion of the government is strengthening.
Regarding the infection situation of the new coronavirus, experts have pointed out that the number of infected people has not decreased than expected, and it is difficult for the government to completely cancel the emergency declaration by the next month. The opinion is growing.
Nearly three weeks have passed since the declaration of an emergency, and the government has been paying close attention to the infection status of the new coronavirus nationwide, and experts have been able to reduce 80% of the opportunities for human contact from the middle of this week. After hearing the opinions about the situation and the status of the medical service system, we will proceed with the examination of whether to extend the emergency declaration by the 6th of next month.
In connection with this, the Minister for Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura stated at the “NHK Special” on the 25th that “it is necessary to show the way of thinking in advance so as not to cause as much confusion as possible,” and confusion occurred at schools and businesses. I expressed the idea that I would like to make some judgment beforehand so that there is no such thing.
However, regarding the situation of infected people, experts have pointed out that the number of infected people per day is starting to decrease in Tokyo and Osaka, but it has not decreased than expected.
Given this situation, there is growing opinion within the government that it is difficult to completely cancel the policy, and in the future we plan to make a careful judgment, taking into account the opinions of experts.
