A working meeting of the government and the ruling party was held over measures against the new coronavirus, and the ruling party changed important policies in light of a series of concerns about the government's policy that home medical treatment should be the basis except for critically ill patients. We asked them to consult in advance.
Regarding measures against the new corona virus, following a liaison meeting held by the government and the ruling party executives in July, the first meeting was held by practitioners on the 5th. Former Minister of the Environment Kamoshita of the Liberal Democratic Party and Deputy Chairman of the Political Survey of the Komeito Party attended.
At the meeting, the government reviewed the explanation materials so far regarding the policy that home medical treatment is the basis except for critically ill patients, and made it possible for people with moderate illness who need oxygen administration to be hospitalized at the discretion of the doctor. I explained what I did.
In response, the ruling party commented, "There are still some areas where the wording is insufficient, and it should be made easier for the people to understand."
In addition, the ruling party requested that the ruling party discuss this policy in advance when changing important policies, given that there was no prior explanation and there were a series of concerns.
