In response to the state of emergency, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takeda stated at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting that he would promote teleworking within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and aim to reduce the number of employees by 70%.
Among them, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications said, "Even within the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, we aim to reduce the number of employees by 70% by maximizing telework and rotation work, and at the same time, generate clusters related to the workplace. Make sure to avoid eating and drinking between staff members to prevent the problem. "
In addition, Minister Takeda said that he would encourage local governments in the 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures that were subject to the state of emergency to make efforts to reduce the number of employees. "It is important for all the people to be aware of the individual. Although I am forced to feel very painful, it is important for each person to be aware of prevention in order to prevent the spread of infection, so we will work in cooperation with the relevant local governments.
