As the number of people infected with the new coronavirus continues to decline, the Communist Party chairman Shii has asked Nishimura, the Minister for Economic Revitalization, to drastically expand PCR tests to prevent the spread of the infection again.
On the 12th, the Communist Party chairman Shii met with the Minister for Economic Revitalization Nishimura and made an urgent offer.
The offer points out that as the number of people infected with the new coronavirus continues to decline, it is necessary to drastically expand PCR tests to find asymptomatic people in order to prevent the spread of the infection again.
On top of that, the government has raised the daily target number of monitoring inspections for asymptomatic people in areas where the state of emergency has been lifted to 100,000, which is 10 times the current number, and as a cluster measure nationwide. We are demanding an increase in the frequency of large-scale inspections conducted at facilities for the elderly.
In response, Minister Nishimura said, "I would like to carry out thorough inspections to prevent the spread of the infection again and catch signs of the spread of the infection."
