Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, requested cooperation from three economic organizations, including Keidanren, to promote telework and take decentralized vacations during the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, saying that it is necessary to curb the flow of people.
Minister Nishimura held a video conference with representatives of three economic organizations on the afternoon of the 18th.
In this, Minister Nishimura said, "In the Tokyo metropolitan area and Osaka, the number of people is starting to increase, and we have to be fluffy here. At the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, measures to curb the flow of people are the key." We requested cooperation to promote the promotion and to take decentralized vacations.
In response, Keidanren Chairman Tokura said, "We are fully aware of the need for response and would like to call for response." Mr. Mimura, Chairman of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, also said, "Many companies have begun to work on remote work. I would like to call for the expansion of our efforts one month after the event. "
On the other hand, Mr. Sakurada, the secretary-general of the Keizai Doyukai, said, "I agree with the efforts to reduce the flow of people as much as possible. I think we have to put it in. "
