Continuing cooperation to prevent the spread of corona infections such as self-restraint, Akabane Minister of Foreign Affairs May 22, 10:04
The emergency declaration was lifted in the Kansai region such as Osaka on the 21st, but Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Akabane called for cooperation in efforts to prevent the spread of infection, such as refraining from moving across prefectures.
At the press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Minister Akabane said, "The five prefectures that are the targets of the emergency declaration, such as Tokyo and Hokkaido, are required to continue their efforts to refrain from going out, but they are not subject to the declaration. Prefectural governments must be careful in easing and canceling self-restraint requests. "
In addition, he said, "We recognize that the whole of May is a very important time to prevent the spread of infection, so please continue to refrain from moving across prefectures as much as possible." We also called for cooperation in efforts to prevent the spread of infection, such as time arriving at work.
