In response to the urgent proposal of the subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, the government will strengthen cooperation with local governments to curb the number of people in large commercial facilities, and will strengthen the call to consider returning home and canceling or postponing travel. It is a policy.
With the number of new coronavirus infections reaching a record high for the second consecutive day, the government's subcommittee said it was necessary to stop the rapid spread of the infection, and for the next two weeks, intensive measures will be strengthened and the number of people will be increased. We have made urgent recommendations to reduce it.
Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, said, "We share a strong sense of crisis with our experts that we are in a situation where we cannot save lives. I want to do it. "
The government plans to strengthen cooperation with local governments in order to curb the number of people in the underground grocery stores and shopping malls of department stores and secure the medical care provision system, which was pointed out in the proposal.
Furthermore, as the Obon festival comes, we will refrain from going out unnecessarily and urgently, and we will strengthen the call to consider returning home and canceling or postponing travel.
On the other hand, there are moves to request the issuance of a state of emergency from local governments whose infection status is deteriorating, and we will continue to consider measures while paying close attention to the infection status and bed usage rate.
