I have summarized the recommendations. He said immediate consideration should be given to shortening the business hours of restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages. We also request that consideration be given to suspending departures from areas where the infection is spreading through “Go To Travel.”
At a press conference, Mr. Yasutoshi Nishimura, Minister of Economic Revitalization, expressed a sense of crisis that “an emergency declaration will be seen” if the increase in infections cannot be contained in the next three weeks.
The final decision on which area corresponds to Stage 3 is left to the local government, but Subcommittee Chairman Shigeru Omi exemplifies Sapporo City, Tokyo 23 Districts, Nagoya City, and Osaka City as corresponding areas. In addition to this, there are thought to be areas where not enough action has been taken even if applied to Stage 3, and the subcommittee urged prefectures to immediately determine if the area is Stage 3.
Mr. Omi said that GoTo was suspended and asked for both the starting point and the destination. “It is more effective for infection control to do it together with those who enter and those who leave.”
The subcommittee emphasized that shortening work hours and reducing the chances for people to come in and out and contact each other as much as possible are the most important to overcome the current situation as soon as possible. (Joint)
