[국제]Did the ‘dinner mask’ appear? … Japanese government: local governments continue to beat

[앵커]

Although the number of new corona19 infections in Japan remains highest for the third day, the response from the Japanese government remains modest.

The medical community warned that it should not be the same as the government and local governments continue to fight to restrict social and economic activities.

Tokyo passed 500 infected people on the second day.

Even amid the spread of the infection, people who want to buy coupons that receive 25% of the cost of eating out have lined up since early morning.

When Prime Minister Suga recommended that “we should wear a mask even when we eat dinner,” the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare directly offered to model at a press conference.

[타무라 노리히사 / 일본 후생노동성 장관 : 음식을 먹을 때는 이렇게 올리고, 먹고 나서는 이렇게 내리고…기능성과 디자인이 좋은 마스크가 계속 나오면 젊은이도 많이 쓸 것이라고 봅니다.]

Controversy continued in the National Assembly over continued support for trips and dinners, but Prime Minister Suga was determined.

[스가 요시히데 / 일본 총리 : 코로나19로 타격을 입은 여행업과 음식업을 지원하고, 감염 방지 대책과 경제 대책을 양립시키는 것이 기본 방침입니다.]

The responses of local governments are also different.

Kanagawa Prefecture, near Tokyo, has decided to temporarily suspend its business supporting dining out, but no other place has taken any action.

[코이케 유리코 / 도쿄도지사 : 여행·외식 지원 캠페인은 정부가 책임을 지고 진행하고 있는 것이라고 생각합니다.]

The Japanese government has announced that it will support local governments in implementing the reduction in business hours, but did not mention specific details.

Because of this, local governments cannot easily decide on the measures that would have a major impact on the local economy.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association urged the government to suspend travel and dining out support projects for a time, saying this should not be the case.

[오자키 하루오 / 도쿄도의사회장 : 마스크 착용 등 개인 위생을 강조하는 것만으로 앞으로의 폭발적인 감염 상황을 막을 수 있을 것인지 저는 의문이라고 생각합니다.]

Corona 19 Minister Nishimura responded at a press conference that “only God will know” about the future infection situation.

There seems to be a big difference in temperature with public opinion, which expects a more active response from the government.
