He said that in view of the spread of the new corona pneumonia epidemic, the Japanese government is studying and again declaring a state of emergency for key areas.
Yoshihide Suga said that the number of people infected with the new corona pneumonia in Japan has exceeded 3,000 every day, and the number of seriously ill patients remains at a high level. The situation is very serious. The government will strengthen its countermeasures, focusing on four key tasks: preventing the spread of the infection, preventing foreign imports, strengthening the medical system, and starting vaccination as soon as possible.
As for countermeasures for infectious diseases, Yoshihide Suga said that since December last year, nighttime activities in Tokyo and the surrounding counties have not decreased. Experience since last year shows that most people with unknown channels of infection become infected by eating, so it is very important to shorten the business hours of the hospitality and control the risk of infection. He requested that the closing time of restaurants in Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba be brought forward to 20 o’clock. To effectively reduce the risk of food and beverage infections, the Japanese government has begun to study the declaration of a state of emergency in key areas and will refine restrictions on the state of emergency. At the same time, in order to increase policy enforcement, the government will amend the Special Measures for Infectious Diseases Act as soon as possible to clarify the subsidies for related companies and the punishment standards for companies that refuse to cooperate. with the government.
In addition, the Japanese government will also take measures to prevent the importation of epidemics abroad. Based on strict entry restrictions, for countries that have opened a green channel for business, if a mutant virus is confirmed in the other country, the green channel will be stopped immediately.
Suga Yoshihide also said that the travel promotion activities originally scheduled to be suspended until the 11th of this month will continue to extend the suspension period.
Statistics show that since the end of November last year, the epidemic in Japan has continued to spread. As of December 31 of last year, there were 4,520 new infections nationwide. Among them, the number of infected people in Tokyo reached 1,337, and the number of infected people in the neighboring prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba set the highest record. As of January 2 of this year, the number of infected people across the country exceeded 3,000 for five consecutive days. On January 3, Tokyo infected 816 people, including 101 seriously ill patients, reaching the highest peak since the first wave of the epidemic in April last year. In the last week, the daily average of deaths in the country exceeded 60, more than double the number of the first wave of the epidemic. The epidemic has caused a shortage of medical resources. Some positive patients were forced to wait for hospital beds at home. Other chronically ill patients even delayed normal surgical and outpatient treatment due to the epidemic.
