"Register contact information for participants" to relax government event restrictions 4:09, July 9

Among the socio-economic activities that have been restricted due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, the government is declining the number of people at the time of holding the event as scheduled on the 10th, and the prefecture will be contacted to the event participants. We have sent notices such as encouraging people to register.

On the 8th, the number of newly infected persons with the new coronavirus was 75 in Tokyo, below 100 for the first time in a week, while 48 were infected in Saitama and 23 in Kanagawa.

Against this backdrop, the government decided to relax the number of people at the time of the event as scheduled on the 10th, assuming that the situation was not reissued because the medical system was not tight and the situation was not reissued. We have notified the prefectures of matters to be kept in mind.

As a result, people with symptoms such as fever are urged not only to move across prefectures but also to refrain from going out, and refraining from going out to facilities where infection prevention measures are not thoroughly implemented. ..

In addition to encouraging event participants to install the contact confirmation application in advance and actively responding to contact registration, etc., we also encourage event organizers and facility managers to participate. Prefectural governments are requested to ask persons to take a thermometer and refrain from taking part if they have a fever or other symptoms, and to prepare a refund policy for that case.

On such an initiative, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura will hold an online meeting with Chairman Iizumi of the National Governor's Association on the afternoon of the 9th to seek cooperation.
