Resident Edano representative "Emergency declaration in Tokyo" New Coronavirus July 12 17:10

With more than 200 new people infected with the new coronavirus in Tokyo every day, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Edano, indicated that he should issue an emergency declaration to Tokyo.

On the 12th, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Edano, visited a welfare facility in Chiba City to see how to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.

After that, Mr. Edano told reporters that the number of new infected people in Tokyo exceeds 200 every day, ``The number of inspections is increasing but it is not proportional to the increase in the number of infected people, It's unacceptable to leave it alone."

He added, "At least in Tokyo, there is an objective situation in which an emergency declaration should be issued, and if not, the government and Tokyo are responsible for explaining in detail. If the infection spreads further, it will be a failure due to political inaction. That is the case.”

In addition, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga said on the 11th, "It is no exaggeration to say that the "Tokyo problem" is becoming a problem centered on Tokyo", "the government is responsible for not spreading the infection. I can only say that I'm out of responsibility."
