Following the extension of the state of emergency in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the minister in charge of economic revitalization Nishimura held a video conference with representatives of the three economic organizations, and the number of people in major cities during the day is on the rise. As such, we continued to ask for cooperation in promoting online meetings and telework.
In this, Mr. Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, said, "If you repeat eating and drinking as before, the infection may spread as in December, so I would like to ask you to continue to take measures, especially for the younger generation." We asked for cooperation to take sufficient measures against infection when doing so.
"The flow of people during commuting has increased by several points compared to February, and the data on the number of people in the daytime is also increasing at major stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area such as Shinjuku and Yokohama. Online conferences and telework I would like to ask for such things. "
In response, Keidanren Chairman Koga said, "The two-week extension of the declaration is a heavy decision at the last minute as a elapsed period for assessing trends in bed usage while suppressing damage to the economy." He stated that he would actively call for countermeasures.
In addition, President Mimura of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, "I would like the government to send a message that this declaration will be the last."
Mr. Sakurada, the secretary-general of the Keizai Doyukai, said, "If you are not aware that teleworking is one of the new ways of working, it will return to its original state like a shape memory alloy, so you should give the nuance that you will continue to do it in the future. ".
