While the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Tokyo has reached a record high, the Diet will conduct a closing examination on the 28th, and will discuss measures to enhance the effectiveness of the state of emergency and infection control measures associated with the holding of the Olympic Games. It is expected that there will be a debate.
In the Diet, a closing examination will be held by the Cabinet Committee of the House of Representatives on the 28th, and the Minister of State for Regulatory Reform Kono and the Minister of State for Economic Revitalization Nishimura will attend and ask questions from the ruling and opposition parties regarding measures against the new coronavirus.
Under these circumstances, the ruling party has decided to rectify the government's view on measures to enhance the effectiveness of priority measures such as the declaration of emergency and prevention of spread, and will hold the Olympic Games as the spread of infection continues worldwide. I am asking you to explain the significance and infection control measures associated with the Games.
On the other hand, the opposition party is demanding improvement because the delay in the payment of cooperation money to restaurants is causing the effect of self-restraint requests such as shortened working hours to decline, and the rules for going out of Olympic officials are not sufficiently observed. , Infection control is a policy to pursue that there are many problems, and it is expected that controversy will be held.
