As the infection of the new coronavirus continues to spread, the Liberal Democratic Party's response headquarters is considering revisions to related laws such as the Special Measures Law, saying that it is necessary to improve the effectiveness of measures such as requesting leave by the prefectural governor, and next year Confirmed the policy of aiming to submit to the ordinary Diet session.

At the Liberal Democratic Party's novel coronavirus response headquarters held on the 18th, Mr. Shimomura, the chairman of the political investigation, attended and exchanged opinions on future efforts.



Since it has been pointed out that the current law, such as the Act on Special Measures for Countermeasures against the New Coronavirus, is insufficient to prevent the spread of infection, we will consider necessary revisions to the law and aim to submit it to the ordinary Diet session next year. I confirmed the policy.



Specifically, based on the fact that the National Governors' Association and others are requesting penalties for businesses that do not respond to leave requests, provisions that enhance the effectiveness of measures taken by prefectural governors and businesses that respond to leave requests We are considering whether the government can include financial support for the cooperation money paid by the local government.



In addition, the policy is to discuss whether the law can stipulate the strengthening of the functions of health centers and the promotion of the use of systems for sharing information between medical institutions and the national and local governments. I am in a hurry.
