Abe, "I have a different opinion" on the alleged cover-up of Corona's infected

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has denied allegations of cover-up over the fact that the number of infected people and deaths in Japan is significantly smaller than those in the U.S. and Europe. When asked about the response to curb the spread of the Korona19 infection, he said, "This fight needs to be prepared for a long-term war."

When asked at a press conference held at the prime minister's official residence on Monday, Abe replied, "There is a saying in Japan that the number of infected people and deaths is low and that the infection is actually spreading under the water, and I think it's different."

"Japan has quite a few infections and PCR tests compared to other countries, but I'm asking for 'let me do the tests' every day if I think a doctor is necessary," he said. He added, "There are rumors that the person who dies from the abolition actually died of coronav19, but we have confirmed it to experts." "For those who died of pneumonia, we must have CT scans at the end. If you show symptoms of epileptic pneumonia, you will be suspected of corona19, and those who died of bacterial pneumonia are convinced that Corona19 is not a cause of death."

Referring to the spread of Korona19 that is occurring in the U.S. and Europe, he highlighted the sense of crisis, saying, "If we estimate the case of Gumi in case of an explosive infection, it could increase by 30 times over the next two weeks." "Unlike the U.S. and Europe, Japan is still barely holding out," he said. "It would not be strange if the infection expanded any time if it was just a little bit relaxed," and asked for the public's cooperation in "restraint from going outside."

When asked whether the government is even about to declare an "urgent situation," including 63 confirmed cases a day in Tokyo on the day of the conference, he said the current stage is not in a situation to declare an emergency, but that a close cliff is continuing.

Regarding the school's plan to open next month, he hinted that it could be reviewed, saying, "We will take suggestions from next week's meeting of experts."

He also said that he would submit an emergency economic plan related to the Korona 19 incident to the National Assembly within the next 10 days or so Abe stressed that he would mobilize all policies, including national and local tax cuts and financial measures. To this end, the government has also unveiled a cash payment plan, in addition to seeking measures to allow small and medium-sized businesses to receive interest-free loans from private financial institutions.

However, many small and small businesses, freelancers, private businesses, and others feel uneasy about their lives, and we want to implement cash payments to help them stay in business. He also expressed caution over the idea of paying all citizens uniformly, saying, "We should consider the experience and effect of the global financial crisis and boldly carry out the plan with a certain amount of target." Regarding the emergency economic measures, he said that the 2009 economic package, which was set right after the global financial crisis, would exceed the size of 56.8 trillion yen.

This is the third time that Abe has held a press conference over the weekend on the Korona 19 measures, following the one held on April 29 and the other on April 14.
