“緊急事態宣言の再指定など現時点で必要ない”西村経済再生相

"No Need to Re-Designate Emergency Declaration at this Time" Minister of Economic Recovery Nishimura

Regarding the new number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Tokyo after the cancellation of the emergency declaration on 27th, the Minister of Economic Reconstruction Nishimura analyzed whether a new cluster has occurred. On the other hand, he acknowledged that, at the moment, it is not necessary to re-designate the emergency declaration or to refrain from cross-prefecture movements.

The number of new cases of the new coronavirus was 57 in Tokyo on the 27th, the highest number after the cancellation of the emergency declaration. The number of people exceeded 90 on the 27th.

Regarding this, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura said at a press conference, "We are wary of the spread from Tokyo to neighboring prefectures. We are mapping data on the situation of each prefecture in the metropolitan area and the relationship with which region and where. Then, we will perform a solid analysis based on the data such as whether there are new infected people and whether there are other clusters than before”.

We don’t want something that we don’t want it just barely happen like spreading new cluster of corona or something like that. For example at Iwate prefecture, there is no infected people. So because of that, we have to tell everyone to stay at home, because that is more safety than go outside. For now we have to follow by the rules to reduce this pandemic.

On the other hand, he said, "Because there is a margin in the medical system, I do not have to worry about redesignating the emergency declaration at this point in time," he said at the moment and redesignating the emergency declaration and the prefectures. He recognized that there is no need to seek self-restraint for cross-discipline travel.
