Relaxing event restrictions Policy to make judgment carefully Today's Subcommittee 4:22, July 22
While confirmation of infection with the new coronavirus was occurring in various places, the government held a subcommittee on 22nd to ask for opinions on how to relax the restrictions on holding events scheduled for August 1 In light of the increasing number of people, we will make a careful decision on mitigation.
There is a growing sense of caution within the government that the number of newborn coronavirus infections is being confirmed one after another, and the number of elderly people and the number of seriously ill persons are increasing. Governor Koike had a meeting and exchanged views on what to do before the 4 consecutive holidays starting on the 23rd.
The government will hold a subcommittee on the 22nd to ask for opinions on how to relax the restrictions on holding events scheduled for August 1, but in light of the increasing number of infected persons, the decision on the mitigation is not made. The policy is to be careful.
On the other hand, the government is calling for the revision of the Special Measures Law for new coronavirus countermeasures in order to improve the effectiveness of infection control measures by some governors. As it takes time to get started, we will make full-scale investigations after the infection is resolved.
For this reason, the policy is to strengthen the response in the existing law, and even if no emergency declaration is issued, it is possible to request a leave to individual stores that do not comply with the guidelines based on Article 24 of the Special Measures Law. In addition to the revision of the operation, police will enter the store and call for thorough measures to prevent infection, based on the Act on Sex Business.
