Prior to the state of emergency targeting one metropolitan area and three prefectures, the Komeito requested the government to raise cooperation fees for businesses in response to requests to shorten business hours.
As a measure against the new coronavirus, the government decided on the 7th to issue a state of emergency for 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, and the 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures will also open restaurants from 8th to 8pm. I will ask you to do so.
The Komeito summarized the urgent request accompanying the declaration, and Takagi, the chairman of the Diet, and others applied to the Minister for Economic Revitalization Nishimura.
Among these, if you want to raise the cooperation fee for the business operator in response to the request to shorten the business hours, do not stop the event such as sports that is scheduled to be held, and tighten the holding restrictions, provide financial support to the business operator. I want to do something.
It also includes measures to prevent infected people who are being treated at home or accommodation facilities from becoming seriously ill, and expanding support for hospitals that accept infected people.
In response, Minister Nishimura said, "I would like to consider it firmly."
