Regarding the increase in Internet traffic due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, the government has decided to answer that there is no noticeable delay in communication.
With the spread of the new coronavirus, the amount of Internet traffic in Japan has increased compared to before the infection spread, due to the fact that people are refraining from going out and teleworking.
In connection with this, Vice-President Maruyama Hotaka, a party that protects the people from NHK, responded to the government's view on measures to prevent communication delays and measures to respond to business operators.
In response to this, the government responded in a cabinet roundabout on the 8th. We do not think that we will take any special measures because it is not considered that there will be a hindrance to ensuring the convenience of the public, including the occurrence of such incidents. "
On the other hand, the answer letter states, "We would like to continue to exchange information closely with related businesses and keep an eye on the communication volume."
