Prime Minister Abe had a meeting with Prime Minister Nishimura's economic revitalization minister and Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato at the Prime Minister's official residence for about 30 minutes from about 4 pm on the 4th, and the number of newly infected persons exceeded 100 for three consecutive days in Tokyo. In addition, we received reports on the infection situation in Japan.
And, although the number of new infections is increasing, it was confirmed that the proportion of the younger generation is high, and it is not in a situation to issue an emergency declaration again, so we will continue to watch with tension.
