(別添1)新型コ� �ナウイルス感� ��症対策の基本 的対処方針(PDF� ��式).pdf

The Japanese government has established a basic policy for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, recognizing it as a major crisis management challenge. The policy aims to protect citizens' lives, suppress the number of infected people, and maintain medical and social functions. To achieve this, the government will promote measures to avoid the "three Cs" (closed spaces, crowded places, and close conversations), conduct active epidemiological investigations, and reduce contact opportunities. The government has also declared a state of emergency on April 7, 2020, which will last for 29 days, and has designated seven prefectures (Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka, Hyogo, and Fukuoka) as areas where emergency measures will be implemented. The government will work with local governments, medical professionals, experts, and businesses to implement these measures and minimize the impact on social and economic functions.
