Before the state of emergency is lifted in six prefectures except the metropolitan area on the 28th, the National Governors' Association will take strong measures against the government even after the declaration is lifted to prevent the spread of infection again. We have put together an urgent proposal to ask for.
The National Governors' Association meeting was held online and was attended by approximately 40 governors.
Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture, whose state of emergency will be lifted on the 28th, said, "We ask restaurants throughout Osaka City to shorten their business hours by 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm until next month. I decided to look for ways to maintain socio-economic activity while preventing the rebound of infections. "
Governor Kuroiwa of Kanagawa Prefecture, who continues to declare, said, "I am not optimistic about the situation in the Tokyo metropolitan area. I will send a powerful message to prevent relaxation, and the deadline will be 7th next month. I want to end the declaration with. "
Governor Yoshinobu Nisaka of Wakayama Prefecture said, "The reason why the number of newly infected people in the Keihanshin area decreased quickly is because the government has been desperately investigating the source of infection. Measures that rely solely on restraining the behavior of the citizens of the prefecture must As we rebound, we want the metropolitan area to rebuild the level of active epidemiological investigations. "
After that, the meeting will compile urgent recommendations to the government, continue strong measures even after the declaration is lifted to prevent the re-spread of infection, and economics for areas not covered by the declaration and industries that do not request time reduction. In addition to requesting employment measures, we requested that each local government be provided with a schedule such as the timing and amount of vaccines to be supplied at an early stage, and that the costs required to improve the inoculation system be supported.
