The government is coordinating to open an advisory board and a response headquarters on the 12th of this week over measures against the new coronavirus.
In line with this, we plan to consider whether there are any areas where the state of emergency can be lifted, or whether it will be subject to the newly established "Priority Measures for Prevention of Spread, etc."
Before the revised Special Measures Law for Countermeasures against New Coronavirus comes into effect on the 13th of this week, the government will make it with experts on the 12th to change the "basic countermeasure policy" to reflect the revised contents. After hearing the opinions of the Advisory Committee, we will open the Countermeasures Headquarters to make decisions.
In line with this, the government plans to consider whether there are any areas that can be canceled in the 10 prefectures that have extended the state of emergency, or to make them subject to the newly established "priority measures such as prevention of spread".
Although it has been pointed out within the government that the infection situation in Aichi and Gifu prefectures has improved relatively and the release is in sight, the beds are still tight, so be cautious. I'm going to find out.
In addition, the government has decided to hold a subcommittee by experts on the 9th, and Minister of Economic Revitalization Nishimura and Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Tamura will explain the contents and operational policy of the revised Special Measures Law and exchange opinions. I am doing it.
On the other hand, the number of people during the daytime on holidays, which had been decreasing so far, has returned to the original level, Minister Nishimura said on the 8th, "If you are not careful here, the number of infections may increase again." , Called for cooperation again.
