It had been held for 104 consecutive days in return for the holidays until the 8th, but it seems that on this day the liaison meeting to discuss the new Corona correspondence with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the like was not held at the prime minister's official residence, and it seems that he canceled because of his own staff and rest. The next meeting will be held on the 11th.

    Mr. Nishimura has been working from home on April 25th and 26th after being infected by a Cabinet Secretary, and since then he has been holding interviews and "hanging down" every day while the reporters are standing around him. At the press conference on August 4th, which became 100 consecutive days, he said, "It doesn't matter how many days it lasts. I want to make a new commitment."

    As the number of new infections nationwide increases, the new Corona Countermeasures Promotion Office of the Cabinet Secretariat, which strengthens the situation by gathering executive staff from each province, will also be extended for a long time, such as promoting holidays for employees who continue to work hard due to the Bon Festival In preparation for this, we will re-partition.
