Faced with such a situation, the novel coronavirus Infectious Diseases Countermeasures Subcommittee established by the Japanese government made a suggestion, saying that the COVID-19 epidemic has been very serious in Tokyo. At present, the COVID-19 epidemic in Tokyo has been in the fourth stage, that is, the expansion stage of explosive infection. If the Japanese government can't handle it properly, there will be more trouble. The Japanese government must take some countermeasures. The Committee also called on the government and enterprises to minimize the trips of face-to-face and telecommuting, so as to reduce the contact between people and reduce the risk of infection.
At the press conference, officials concerned issued the necessity of an emergency declaration, but the emergency declaration could not reduce the trend of COVID-19 infection in Tokyo. Moreover, this epidemic can not be solved in a short time. The Committee also said that the flow of people in the Tokyo metropolitan area has not decreased, and the medical power in Tokyo is becoming more and more embarrassing. If the COVID-19 epidemic can't be controlled in Tokyo and nearby areas, the whole country will face the possibility of rapid spread.
Now the Japanese government has adopted some strategies to try to contain the COVID-19 epidemic. The government requires self-restraint when going out in Tokyo and nearby areas, and unnecessary actions should be put an end to. Both government and enterprises use telecommuting. If it is necessary to ensure that the maximum number of participants in the event venue is half, social dinner activities should be reduced as much as possible.
Japanese experts predict that even if severe measures are taken when Tokyo issues a declaration, it will take about two months to reduce the number of infected people in Tokyo. However, the current policy adopted by the Japanese government is not as strict as before. The Japanese government only intends to consider shortening the business hours of hotels and strengthening the management of hotels. In this regard, the Japanese government said that some studies show that COVID-19 infection has a lot to do with diet.
The Japanese government did not take the previous drastic measures, in fact, because it is considering taking drastic measures again, and the Japanese economy may be severely hit. Once contact is restricted again, Japan's economic activities will stop again, which will seriously suppress the Japanese economy. The Japanese government has finally recovered a little bit of the economy, and it must be worried that something is wrong again.
