Summary of proposed new version of the flu measures <PDF>
Introduction

Mutated bird flu virus, and infection from human to human transmission "pandemic flu" if the advent of the strength of infection and toxicity from the strength of the global epidemic and social life have an enormous impact on the said That. Currently, avian bird flu infection from avian to the expansion of that, in addition to the avian and human contact with infected cases increased in Asian countries and the mortality rate is 60 percent also felt. Japanese expatriates abroad to ensure the health and safety as well as the large number of people and products in a short time to move today because the nation is also not someone else's problem.
This situation by the government is made, when pandemic flu spread of the disease prevention and the maintenance of social functions for the pandemic flu action plan and measures of various guidelines, vaccines and stockpile anti-influenza virus, the water's edge Announced various measures, including measures to expand it.
As the world economy, the government response to the movement of the Pandemic (new flu pandemic) to prepare for "employees to ensure the safety of the family" and "Business Continuity and maintain social function" of the two challenges in balancing That just measures manuals and business continuity planning and working on it, but so far only shown the government's policy agenda as a cornerstone to achieve it is extremely difficult to say.
National crisis management is the most important policy issue. The new government's measures against the flu, public health and safety point of view of society and maintain business continuity in terms of features, such as the improvement and strengthening the well will soon be requested by the following points.
1. Public health and safety for

And the prevention of pandemic flu infected patients to avoid severe and the vaccine (or PUREPANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN PANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN # 1 # 2) inoculation of "preventive" # 3 anti-influenza virus medicine administered by the "treatment "Is essential, but at this stage of national stockpiles and production system is not sufficient in itself.

1. Humans - a new human infection of influenza vaccine made from viruses. Is not yet pandemic flu because it did not occur, PANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN can not manufacture. After the new outbreak of influenza virus vaccines to identify the products until the current methods of production (of egg production), up to one and a half years and require the extent (7th pandemic flu experts meeting Documents)
2. Tri - Tri (a rare human) infected with bird flu (H5N1) virus vaccine made from
3. Influenza virus can inhibit the proliferation of drug treatment to reduce the symptoms of flu (oral-oral medicine Tamiflu, the oral inhaled drug Relenza). Can also be used for prevention.

(1) all citizens at an early PANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN environment conducive to inoculate

The new flu prevention and spread of the most urgent measures for the early development of manufacturing PANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN. After a specific pandemic flu virus strain, all supplied by the public PANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN is possible to shorten the time it is needed. The government is in cell culture vaccine manufacturing technology to establish and support investment in manufacturing facilities, including the country's public health and safety from the perspective of national security as early vaccination for the promotion of environment Is necessary. Also, new drugs and other types of vaccine research and development, surveillance (new flu understanding and analysis of the situation) to further focus should be.
(2) anti-viral flu drug stockpile to promote national

The current national stockpile of anti-influenza virus medicine for 24 million people, about 20 percent of all Americans to cover only the first wave of 32 million people in the new flu epidemic is expected that when the patient minutes Beyond that. 50 percent of the population possess stockpiles of Britain, France and Japan compared with evident stockpiles of small-scale, anti-viral flu drug stockpiles should be promoted in Japan. In addition, foreign diplomatic missions in foreign reserves grow to 100,000 people remain. During the epidemic of local medical institutions are also expected to be confusion from abroad also necessary to increase stockpiles.行き渡らずflu anti-viral drugs to be infected by the death of増えれcommunity could also push the panic button, and logistics to facilitate consideration of a sufficient stockpile anti-influenza virus is desirable.
(3) covered by the expanded vaccination of PUREPANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN

The government, including quarantine station staff PUREPANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN the targeted vaccination prior to and the effectiveness of the safety assessment of the medical and social workers who maintain the capability to # 4 to consider a pre-inoculation Said.
The government is made, such as overseas study to compare PUREPANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN vaccine development should focus on further improvements. The PUREPANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN the audience about the inoculation, (1)'s family to maintain social functions, including the need for preventive measures, (2) maintain social functions related to business, business to direct成り立たずonly company in the related supply chain businesses, including contractors and subcontractor employees also need to secure and maintain categorically describe social function and say, it is certain to be very realistic It is difficult, (3) to maintain social functions, even if not technically difficult to stop businesses to maintain production facilities, factories and offices of network security and management purposes suspended from the project even after work命じざるmay have to resort to force, and (4) the possibility of developing new types of influenza is high on the anti-influenza virus medicine is not enough circulation in the countries and companies stockpile countries do not allow employees to reside There's a lot of it, and the effectiveness of safety PUREPANDEMIKKUWAKUCHIN confirmed, maintain social functions except for people who are inoculated immediately possible to improve the business environment as possible. When that happens, the risk of side reaction, including information about the vaccination of its citizens to know that there is needless to say.

4. (1) maintain security, (2) lifeline, (3) countries and crisis management by local governments, (4) to maintain the basic living of the people for information, (5) transportation, and other work

(4) companies stockpile anti-influenza virus medicine and preventive purposes in the administration of special permit

At present, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, regulations, anti-viral flu drug companies to directly buy them (the corporate stockpile). The goal of treatment for preventive purposes in any of the administration and our doctor's prescription is required by. Meanwhile, the possibility of pandemic flu is likely to occur in the region by employees on a business trip when the safety of our employees from the perspective of preventive anti-viral flu medicine and I want to bring the voice is strong.
National Stockpile is a top priority and it assumes on the anti-viral flu drug stockpile of companies (including group companies, including company employees and their families) and to allow overseas travel with the doctor's prescription No, the purpose of preventive anti-viral flu medication should be available. These measures, as a result of the national stockpile of savings will help.
(5) A new type of flu symptoms by providing information on how to deal with

Organizations such as local public health centers, mainly in the event of a pandemic flu patients have transportation and how transportation system accepted at medical institutions, dense contact to discuss how to deal with that is that. However, the progress in the effort differences can be seen. Local governments infectious diseases and enhanced features, in place as soon as possible to summarize the policy is expected to be. In addition, the new company as symptoms of flu will occur at the contact carrier, or at home recuperating, and notes about each area of business information, a well-known issue.
Two. Maintaining social and business functions for the continuation

The government is pandemic flu occurs, as government measures to promote the comprehensive and powerful when it is necessary, the Cabinet and the prime minister and chief of pandemic flu to set up a task force said. With any situation to become the country's function as it should be paralyzed and the team headquarters to fulfill its role as the prevention of infection and maintain social function for quick and accurate information Dissemination, as well as to the policy as a country (local public organizations, businesses and public call for action, etc.) to immediately indicate that essential. Therefore, the following peacetime efforts to promote similar requests.
(1) in collaboration with industry, academia and government consider the establishment of system

PANDEMIKKU also at the basis of national life is maintained because the operators not only lifeline, the related government agencies and related businesses, such as supply chain to work with a wide range of stakeholders will be asked to . Each entity is consistent with the effective measures to promote high on the time of peace, mutual understanding and conditions, will cooperate in industry, academia and government to consider measures that are necessary. The social functions of general business, but also by maintaining a business continuity plan to make it an officially-threatening damage is anticipated social function (rate of absenteeism, food supply and distribution of goods transport infrastructure and other social infrastructure, such as functional status ) To clarify it is essential.
Large-scale flood and other natural disasters of earthquake, the Central Disaster Prevention Council in each of the expert panel established, industry, academia and government are expected damage and other measures based on the modalities for the opportunity to have been discussed. The new measures for influenza A similar study is necessary to improve the system.
In addition, the company is considering measures to a pandemic flu on the government in consultation service should be improved.
(2) request the imposition of requirements and return recommendations to clarify

The new domestic flu cases are allowed to expand its business to continue to determine whether the company is essentially a judgement would be voluntary. The treatment of employees stationed overseas as well.
In some circumstances, business is continuing to spread in turn could encourage the deal between the companies is very multilayered, one company's decision to halt operations in the judgement of its own employees or to actually make it back home It is difficult.
Government, business and request the return of specific recommendations, including clarifying the imposition of a requirement, under certain conditions, the company has reduced the company (or stop) and ask employees to return to the well-known, common among officials It is the recognition of expenses.
(3) PANDEMIKKU time to clarify the concept of legal compliance

When the absentee PANDEMIKKU increased and the small business may be forced to carry out expected. Among the lifeline businesses that require companies such as Business Continuity in the Labor Standards Law provisions on working hours and holidays, such as compliance with regulations, gas and electricity sectors, including business law regulations based on security patrol inspections Inspection and compliance is difficult to believe. In addition, other companies lifeline operators, including all companies in business and rescheduling is necessary refinements, and the resultant delay and disruption of commerce may also estimated that in such cases responsible for the problem of debt default Said. From this perspective, at PANDEMIKKU the legislation will be flexible operation in advance of specific government policies should be clear.
In addition, in-house business occurs when an infected person should provide information about the protection of personal information from the sides also need to organize.
(4) business point of view about the obligation of security arrangement

To maintain social functions in companies not appropriate, in order to maintain a minimum level of functionality to order an employee to work is to be expected. If unavoidable circumstances in order to work on modalities for measures to clarify the criteria, such as ex post facto company employees accused of violating the obligation of security so that we do not like the idea of organizing the issue.
(5) Notice of their manufacture and sale of food and other clarifications

To prepare for pandemic stockpiling food and other basic and it is that the epidemic is believed to be several times over, offices and homes in dealing with stockpiles of food has its limits. To facilitate the food supply on the nature of virus expected to be based on the manufacture and sale of food during a specific point in consideration of what should be done, should be clarified.
(6) government's pandemic flu measures both at home and description, known

And other employees abroad to ensure safety measures are put up on the companies, foreign diplomatic missions in each description is not uniform and is not based on how it should respond to the confused and have a voice. Border protection measures, including measures to deal with the government's pandemic flu uniform at home and abroad to explain and promote well-known as possible.
Three. Japanese expatriates abroad to consider the

The government, the Japanese expatriates abroad to ensure the health and safety, as well as trends over pandemic flu monitoring efforts as soon as possible and provide accurate information to give precise instructions are needed. In addition, the new outbreak of influenza during the expatriate and their family members were able to return home smoothly and the airport near the stationary set up in advance to ensure that facilities are needed. In addition, such as returning children in the school system for accepting the government's policy to clarify the issue.
Conclusion

The emergence of pandemic flu is fatally infected by TOMOSA occur in a matter of time. Small as possible to keep the epidemic, public health and safety, social defense図るべくthe parties together to present a strong shared sense of crisis, and measures need to be working on. The government is made, from the standpoint of national security, keen to promote measures to strongly urge. Nippon Keidanren, the member companies of the importance of pandemic flu measures, and to call for urgency, such as providing information through their respective measures to contribute to the activities he wants.
