Opposition parties, such as the Constitutional Democratic Party, have claimed that it was too early to make a decision as the number of newly infected people continued to decline over the cancellation of the state of emergency.
As it may lead to the re-expansion of the infection as it is, we are requesting the immediate strengthening of countermeasures such as the drastic expansion of the inspection system.
Opposition parties have claimed that the cancellation of the state of emergency in the Tokyo metropolitan area, one metropolitan area and three prefectures, was premature, as the number of newly infected people continued to decline.
Edano, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, said on the 22nd, "The number of infected people in Tokyo has been higher than a week ago, and the rebound has already begun. ".
Opposition parties have already seen signs of worsening conditions, such as an increase in the number of infected people in Miyagi, Yamagata, and Okinawa, and have decided to urgently strengthen countermeasures, saying that this could lead to the spread of infection again in a short period of time.
Specifically, it says that monitoring inspections for asymptomatic people and inspection systems at medical institutions and facilities for the elderly should be drastically expanded.
In addition, in order to support businesses such as restaurants in a serious situation, we will work to encourage the government to provide benefits according to the scale of the business.
