Starting on the 8th, the government will raise the stage of social distancing in the metropolitan area from the current ‘second stage plus (+) alpha (α)’ to ‘2.5 stages’. Since the spread of ‘Corona 19’ increased rapidly in the metropolitan area, it was decided to take special measures even considering the social and economic damages. The application period is 3 weeks until the end of the year. As a dilemma just before the third stage, which paralyzes practically all daily life, the government aims to suppress the spread as much as possible within stage 2.5.
According to the Central Headquarters for Disaster Countermeasures and Security on the 7th, steps 2.5 will be implemented in the metropolitan area starting at 0 am on the 8th.

If the spread of the infection does not decrease through this, a pandemic will occur throughout the country, the collapse could become a reality. ”
