Support for traveling and eating out while infection spreads Controversy over appropriateness continues
Japan Medical Association, “Travel support campaign caused infection to spread”

The number of newly infected people in Japan is the highest since the 19 corona incident for two days in a row, making it a third nationwide epidemic. However, Prime Minister Suga plans to continue his travel and food-away support campaigns without taking any action other than wearing a mask at dinner parties. Reports from Tokyo correspondent Lee Kyung-ah. Tokyo recorded the highest number of new infections for two consecutive days, surpassing 500 a day for the first time. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government sees this as a serious situation, given the increasing number of infections among patients and middle-aged people whose route of infection is unknown. The Corona 19 alert level, which was lowered one level in September, has also been raised to the highest level. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, however, has not made a separate request for reduced business hours to avoid infection or refrain from going out as trips. Prime Minister Suga also stressed that after the number of infected people across the country surpassed 2,000, he had to be as alert as possible, but did not mention specific measures. He said that there are many cases of infection while speaking out loud and asked to wear a mask at dinners. Amid the rapid spread of the infection, controversy is also growing over the government’s continued policy of supporting travel and eating out. Although these supportive measures are a factor that has spread the infection throughout the country, it emphasizes personal hygiene and the government is trying to pass the responsibility on to the people. The Japanese Medical Association warned that the infection could spread uncontrollably if vigorous action is not taken quickly. The economy began to come to life, but the Japanese government is again passive in restricting social and economic activities to avoid Corona 19. However, there is growing concern about whether the third outbreak can be controlled simply by asking the public to be careful. I’m Kyungah Lee from YTN in Tokyo.
