Regarding new corona measures, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato indicated that he would consider reviewing measures other than wearing masks, such as installing acrylic plates, while listening to the opinions of experts.
The government has decided to shift the position of the new corona under the Infectious Diseases Act to the same "5 types" as seasonal influenza, etc., and prior to that, from next month 13th, it will be left to individual judgment to wear a mask. I'm here.
Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato told reporters, ``Even after revising the wearing of masks, infection control is still important. I am doing it.”
On top of that, ``I have received an opinion from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's infectious disease subcommittee that ``the excessive infection control measures should be reviewed as soon as possible and information about effective methods should be disseminated.'' In the future, basic measures other than masks will be implemented. I would like to hear the opinions of experts and proceed with the consideration."
