As the new corona virus infection spreads and Saitama prefecture demands that the number of people to eat be less than 4, the Saitama Prefectural Prefecture Assembly, the PLD Prefectural Assembly was having dinner with dozens of people in a hotel in Saitama city on the night of the 18th. It turned out.
According to people familiar with the matter, the 18th was the closing day of the December ordinary meeting of the prefectural assembly, and the dinner was held as an annual event of the prefectural assembly. The event is said to have been canceled on the day of the event, and each person was able to eat freely for about two hours starting at 5pm. There was also a liquor supply. The reason the dinner was not canceled is said to be “considering the loss of ingredients.”
Since the 15th, the prefecture holds dinners and drinking parties with fewer than 4 people in principle, and asks the citizens of the prefecture not to spend too much time. Takumi Tamura, who was in charge of the dinner, explained in an interview that “I just arrived at three and five and I ate it alone. It is not a dinner.” “I don’t know the number of participants,” but one of the participants said, “I had about 10 people when I went. Some people came after that.”
In December, the number of newly infected people in the prefecture continued to exceed 150 per day, and on the 18th it exceeded 200 for the first time. Mr. Tamura said: “The hotel was not full of guests and I was worried about the last minute in a difficult situation. I take criticism seriously.”
Governor Motohiro Ohno told reporters: “The members are representatives of the citizens of the prefecture. Each one should be aware of and responsible for the citizens of the prefecture.” (Kiyo Iida)
