Regarding the efforts to certify restaurants that have taken appropriate infection countermeasures, Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, asked about the operation method while listening to the opinions of the restaurant industry regarding the implementation of questionnaires to store users through the gourmet site. He showed the idea of careful consideration.
Regarding efforts by third parties such as prefectures to certify restaurants that are taking appropriate measures against the new coronavirus, the government surveys store users through gourmet sites to see if the measures are thorough in order to increase their effectiveness. And are considering sharing with prefectures.
At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Mr. Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, said, "We have a mechanism to ease requests for suspension of liquor and give incentives to stores that are working on infection prevention measures. The information alone does not revoke the certification. "
On top of that, "Some people are worried about the harmful effects of malicious writing from rival companies and some users. We also listen to the voices of people in the food and beverage industry, and work closely with prefectures to find out how to operate concretely. I would like to think about it. "
On the other hand, Minister Nishimura expressed a negative opinion about the implementation during the state of emergency.
