The government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus has put together recommendations that indicate the necessary measures before the government decides to extend the state of emergency by one month in 10 prefectures.

In areas where the declaration is extended, we will continue to request shortening of restaurant business hours in order to accelerate the decrease in infected people, thoroughly refrain from going out unnecessarily, and we cannot expect a sharp decrease in seriously ill people in the future. As a result, it is necessary to further strengthen the securing of beds and medical staff.

A government subcommittee met on the 2nd to make recommendations on the measures required in areas where the state of emergency is extended and where it is lifted.



Among them, it is said that the effect of the state of emergency, which holds down the "key points" such as measures to prevent the spread of infection mainly in eating and drinking places, shows a nationwide decrease in infection, but in some areas, infection It is difficult to lift the declaration because the level is still high and the burden on medical care continues, and it is not expected that the number of severely ill people will decrease sharply in the future. You need to do it.



One of the reasons why the infection spread so much that it was necessary to issue a declaration by concretely showing the measures required in areas where it is difficult to cancel the declaration is that the message to refrain from the year-end party was not transmitted.


▽ The national and prefectural governments should once again inform the importance of basic infection control measures such as avoiding "three crowds", and ▽ Infect


young people without noticing it, and have sequelae. We are asking you to tell them such things as to encourage behavior change.



In addition, assuming that the movement of people during the daytime has not decreased, especially on holidays

, 7 of the employees who went to work by ▽

▽ teleworking, etc. We are requesting that we thoroughly request discounts,


▽ to make detailed efforts to request restaurants to shorten business hours, and


▽ to call for sales such as delivery and takeout.



Furthermore, for facilities for the elderly, where the number of clusters is increasing rapidly, a countermeasure team will be set up to ensure thorough infection control at the facility, and


▽ facility staff will be able to undergo regular inspections.


▽ We are requesting that we create a system that can support infection countermeasures when an infected person is found.



In addition, as a measure for severely ill patients, the national and prefectural governments will


secure beds and medical staff through cooperation with medical associations and hospital groups in order to escape from the situation before the medical care provision system becomes dysfunctional. Strengthening and


▽ Since there are cases where patients who are receiving medical treatment or waiting at home become more severe, strengthening support


,


▽ Medical institutions focusing on new corona support, and improvement of symptoms We are requesting the expansion of hospitals that accept patients who have been sick.



On the other hand, for areas where the declaration can be canceled,


▽ continue necessary measures until the infection status becomes equivalent to stage 2, and


▽ to find signs of infection at an early

stage

, there is a

risk of infection such as entertainment districts. We requested that a wide range of PCR tests be performed mainly in high areas.
