Phased measures toward with-corona have been established. Through the new social distancing adjustment plan to be applied from next Monday through the end of October, recovery toward daily life appears to be coming into focus.
In particular, we note and welcome the significant relaxation of capacity restrictions at weddings, religious facilities, accommodations, and sports event viewing. This is a decision that can provide significant vitality to related industries, beyond merely resolving people's living inconveniences.
Immediately, weddings will be permitted with up to 250 people (49 people+201 fully vaccinated individuals) regardless of whether meals are provided. This is a matter that the Democratic Party has conducted extensive consultations on with the Newlywed Couples Association and actively proposed to the government.
As the COVID-19 situation has prolonged, it is true that newlyweds have prepared their weddings with anxiety and regret rather than excitement and blessings. They were unable to comfortably prepare even a meal to express gratitude to guests. We hope this measure will allow newlyweds starting a new chapter to conduct their weddings with greater peace of mind.
Additionally, incentives for fully vaccinated individuals at religious facilities and sports event viewing, as well as measures for accommodations that lift room operation restrictions at levels 3-4, will accelerate our recovery toward daily life. Extending restaurant and cafe business hours until midnight and expanding private gathering sizes will bring even greater hope to self-employed and small business owners.
The active quarantine cooperation of the people made this policy change possible. I express my gratitude to the citizens who have endured the inconveniences of daily life for national safety.
The new social distancing adjustment in October must successfully take root, and recovery toward daily life in progressively more areas must proceed. This result came from extensive consultations between the Democratic Party and related organizations, and was achieved through active proposals to the government. I extend my gratitude to all involved.
This is what people's livelihoods are about.
I will also make greater efforts to resolve people's livelihoods issues.
