Kansai 2 prefectures 1 prefecture lifted Tokyo metropolitan area 1 prefecture 3 prefectures and Hokkaido continued
While the emergency declaration was lifted in two prefectures in the Kansai region, such as Osaka, before the continuation of one prefecture and three prefectures in the Tokyo metropolitan area, such as Tokyo, and Hokkaido, a parliamentary steering committee was held in the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives in the Diet. A question was asked.
Hideki Niwa of the Liberal Democratic Party said, "The emergency declaration was canceled in 39 prefectures last week. Is the call for self-restraint to go out unnecessary and urgent? Is functioning. What do you expect? "
In response to this, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura said, "Thanks to the cooperation of the people as the number of people has decreased to a certain extent even in the areas that were lifted in advance. We would like to take infection control measures in the lifted prefectures." I would like you to gradually expand your economic activities. I would like to ask for your continued cooperation, and I would like to somehow converge. "
Mr. Yuka Miyazawa of the Constitutional Democratic Party said, "Although foreign tourists last month decreased by 99.9% compared to the same month last year, please tell us about the current situation of refusal of immigration and future prospects."
In response to this, Minister Nishimura said, “Infection is still spreading overseas, and Japan is currently expanding the areas and countries subject to entry restrictions. I don't think it is time to make a decision about whether to think at the right time, and I would like to handle it carefully. "
Mr. Yoshio Maki of the National Democratic Party said, "It is said that the 2nd and 3rd waves will definitely come. We will show concretely how to deal with the 2nd and 3rd waves in the future. I would like to have it. "
In response, Nishimura said, "Even if the declaration is lifted, the risk of infection does not reach zero, and I don't know where the virus is lurking. I think it's better to assume that the second wave will occur. I think it is important to keep the number of patients at the same time, and we need to establish a system that firmly protects PCR tests and medical care in the event of an emergency. "
Mr. Hiroaki Shioda, a member of the Komeito, said, "We have had earthquakes in the past week, and we have to take measures against heavy rain before the rainy season begins. About strengthening the infectious disease prevention system at the evacuation shelters and how to operate it Immediate action is needed. "
In response to this, Minister Nishimura said, “We must move forward with disaster countermeasures and infectious disease countermeasures at the same time without knowing when a typhoon season will begin in the summer and an earthquake or other event will occur. We have issued a notice asking us to create a building and secure hotels and inns as well. "
Mr. Tohru Higashi of the Japan Restoration Association said, "I think it is very important for the government to ask Keidanren and others to prevent subcontractors from requesting price cuts from subcontractors. However, I did.
In response to this, Minister Nishimura said, “With the global economy at a standstill, the manufacturing industry, including the automobile industry, has become extremely tough. In such a situation, the wrinkles should not go to SMEs. "We would like to work together to ensure that transactions are optimized throughout Japan while firmly maintaining the position of small and medium-sized enterprises," said the government, labor and management.
The Communist Party's Tetsuya Shiokawa pointed out that securing a sickbed requires long-term maintenance of an empty sickbed, which puts pressure on management. It is necessary to take financial measures including specific compensation for reduced revenue (hoten).
In response to this, Minister Nishimura said, "In order to secure a medical service system, we doubled the medical fee for medical institutions that received critically ill patients, and subsidized the availability of vacant beds. In the plan, we would like to further increase grants and at the same time bear the full amount of the national expense and secure the necessary budget for the system to save lives. ”
