Governor Kumagai of Chiba Prefecture said, "I think that each guardian was selected in the current infection situation. Anyway, infection control measures were taken in response to a series of declines immediately before watching school cooperation at a junior high school in Chiba City. It should be carried out after the parents are fully convinced, so I would like the municipalities to carry it out in this way in the future. I think this is an important educational opportunity to broaden understanding. "
