According to the plan, the light-up of the ski resort ( Enga-cho, Hokkaido) and the light-up of the tower (Chiba City) were carried out to show thanks to medical personnel. The purpose of the distribution of randoseru (Toguragura-cho, Hokkaido) is to support families that have been economically affected.

In addition, there was an example such as the distribution of the security guard arrangement and the garbage bag of the installation of the roof in the plaza in front of the station where the event such as the fireworks display was held.
