Regarding measures against the new coronavirus, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato suggested at a press conference in the morning that a subcommittee of the government should exclude areas where the infection situation remains high from the target of "Go To Travel". In response, on the night of the 14th, he opened the countermeasures headquarters and expressed his intention to consider measures.
Among them, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato commented on the current infection situation, saying, "The number of newly infected people continues to be at the highest level ever, and the situation requires the utmost caution. The government also responds with a strong sense of crisis. I'm doing it. "
In response to a proposal made by a government subcommittee last week to exclude areas where the infection status remains high from the scope of "Go To Travel", "The government held a countermeasures headquarters today and made a proposal. We will consider the response policy received. "
On the other hand, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato asked the reporters about the treatment of Tokyo and Nagoya over "Go To Travel," but said, "We are intermittently coordinating and discussing with the prefectural governors. I would like to refrain from mentioning the content. "
