At a press conference, Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Akabane said, "The extension of the state of emergency will be officially decided by the end of today, but it does not mean that the Go To travel business will resume immediately without being lifted." Resumed that it would be difficult for the time being.
On top of that, Minister Akabane said, "At present, we have received an urgent proposal from the National Governors' Association to operate Go To Travel appropriately and flexibly so that it can be used for accommodation by local residents in areas where the infection has settled down. I can't say anything concrete, but in addition to the early convergence of the infection, we will also consider protecting the business operator. "He said that he would consider reviewing the operation when resuming the business. ..
