Regarding the increase in the number of new coronavirus infections in Tokyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga has urged him to take a PCR test positively, pointing out that it is the result of his aggressive attitude of searching for positive people. He expressed his intention to work on both prevention of spread of infection and socio-economic activities.
In a lecture given in Chitose City, Hokkaido, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga said, “In Tokyo, the number of newly infected people with new coronavirus has been increasing, exceeding 200 people for three consecutive days. About 80% of those are under the age of 39. The government is now taking an aggressive stance of thoroughly conducting PCR tests to find positive people," he said.
After that, I was asked, "Will the number of new infected people increase the number of people who will declare an emergency?" However, the policy of advancing socio-economic activities is unchanged. The goal is to prevent the spread of the virus and at the same time gradually restore socio-economic activity."
In addition, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga said, "We are currently working in cooperation with Tokyo and each ward in order to prevent further spread of the infection. It is no exaggeration to say that this issue is a "Tokyo issue." It's becoming a central issue."
