Declaration of Emergency Situation Weekly Check to see if it is possible to cancel hearings Government 4:46, May 6
Regarding the emergency declaration that was extended until the end of this month, the government continued to pay close attention to trends in the number of infected persons in each prefecture and the medical care provision system, etc. It is a policy to consider whether such is possible.
Following the extension of the emergency declaration based on the Act on Special Measures against New Coronaviruses, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura held talks with the top of the three economic groups and the chairman of the Governor's Association on May 5, and continued contact with people. We asked for cooperation in reducing opportunities and refraining from large-scale events.
And about whether it is possible to lift the declaration and relax restrictions on actions by the end of this month, Minister Nishimura said, "I want to show as soon as possible what each prefecture is going to be." and hearing the opinions from experts in prospect, it showed the idea to consider.
The government has a policy to analyze and judge the cumulative number of infected persons in the last few weeks, the medical service system, and the number of PCR tests, etc. for each prefecture. I would like to show the numbers and data that will be the basis of.
The government wants to gradually relax restrictions and resume socio-economic activities, but if the insufficiency of going out or moving to rural areas becomes insufficient, the number of new infected persons, which is on the decline, will be regained. The policy is to persistently call for a thorough “new lifestyle” such as avoiding the so-called “three secrets” as there is a risk that the number will increase.
