Experts call for emergency declaration: ”Government and local governments should appeal with one voice.
Professor Kazuhiro Tateta of Toho University, President of the Infectious Diseases Society of Japan, commented on the request to declare a state of emergency: ”The three prefectures in Tokyo have requested that restaurants open shorter hours, but the spread of infection cannot be controlled.
I think the current situation is caused by a lack of shared awareness of the crisis, so it is effective and very important for the government and local governments to use one voice to voice the crisis and ask for countermeasures,” he said.
He said, ”I believe that more than 90% of people are taking infection control measures such as wearing masks, disinfecting, and avoiding ’3-dense’ areas, but we need to deliver the message to those who are unable to do so, so that everyone will be motivated to take thorough infection control measures.
On the countermeasures to be taken by local governments, he said, ”The declaration of a state of emergency in April last year was issued in a state of uncertainty, but experience with the new coronavirus has been accumulated through the second and third waves.
The top management of each municipality needs to consider where the center of infection is in the region and take measures that will be as effective as possible and cause less damage to the social economy,” he pointed out.
