Regarding measures against the new coronavirus, Mr. Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, held a video conference with Chairman Hirai of the National Governors' Association and others to relax the restrictions on vaccinated people, etc. He demonstrated his intention to consider concrete measures in cooperation with local governments.
The government plans to relax restrictions on the use of restaurants and movement across prefectures for those who have been vaccinated or who have been tested negative in order to restore their daily lives.
Regarding this, Mr. Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, held a video conference with Chairman Hirai of the National Governors' Association, in order to grasp the issues of businesses and users, large-scale events and restaurants in the area where the emergency declaration was lifted. He showed the idea of demonstrating the necessary technology in live houses.
He added, "I would like to cooperate closely with prefectures and municipalities when conducting specific discussions, so I would like to establish a place for communication in some way."
In response, Chairman Hirai said that there were many voices from the governors of the whole country evaluating the government's policy, and requested that the debate on mitigation not be a false message in the state of emergency. I did.
