Today (28th) has been 3 weeks since an emergency was issued in four metropolitan local governments including Tokyo, Japan due to the third coronavirus outbreak.



In Tokyo alone, the infection explosion in early January, when more than 2,000 new infected people appeared a day, calmed down a bit, but the accumulated fatigue of medical staff struggling on the front line of the corona is serious.



To help these medical staff even a little, a restaurant in Tokyo delivers free eel-don lunch boxes to medical institutions.



Although the price is high at around 70,000 won each, the cost is covered by crowdfunding that receives donations from an unspecified number of people.

I hope it will be a little comforting with everyone's strength.]



A social enterprise in Tokyo has stepped up to ease the burden of child-rearing on medical workers.



It is to dispatch professional personnel for free by receiving requests from front-line medical professionals who are difficult to focus on child-rearing.



[Akasaka/Company officials: The difficult situation for medical personnel seems to continue for the time being, but I hope this support will be expanded further.] In

medical workers come to exchange consumables such as tires, batteries and wipers, labor costs are required. Are not receiving.



[Kono/Maintenance company representative: There is not much we can do, but I hope it helps a little.]



In Japan, the desperate need to somehow stop only the coronavirus 3rd epidemic and medical collapse, which are still raging, has led to donation activities.
