At the meeting on the 3rd, the government's meeting of experts examining the measures against the new corona showed a summary of issues based on the discussions so far.
Regarding priority measures such as prevention of spread, the idea of application should be organized with a review of the current measures centered on the request for shortened hours to restaurants.
According to this, although the prefectures planned to secure beds when the infection of the new corona spread, it was difficult to secure medical personnel in some areas, and it was not possible to establish a sufficient system, and there was a shortage of protective clothing. It is pointed out that the number of examinations at medical institutions did not increase due to the tightness of health center operations, and it was not possible to respond sufficiently.
In addition, we are preparing for the rapid spread of new infectious diseases in light of the fact that the National Governors' Association and other organizations are requesting us to review the current measures centered on time-saving requests to restaurants regarding priority measures such as prevention of spread. The idea of applying it should be organized.
It also calls for the Prime Minister to act as a command tower to centrally take measures against infectious diseases and to strengthen the government's expert organization.
The Council of Experts will make recommendations to the government in the middle of this month based on the discussion points.
