To residents
There is no end to slander, heartless writing, etc. against people infected with the new coronavirus on SNS. In addition, there have been reports of bullying at elementary and junior high schools and discrimination against the family members of medical staff who are treating infected patients.
Residents of the ward are requested to act calmly based on correct information so that they will not be deceived by inaccurate information and lead to human rights violations against infected persons, foreigners, medical personnel, etc. Please.
There are also reports that discrimination against unvaccinated people is spreading. Vaccination is said to be effective in preventing the spread of infection and convergence, but vaccination is not compulsory and should be taken based on the person's will. It is not permissible to forcibly vaccinate a person or to treat them disadvantageously because they have not been vaccinated.
We ask for your continued consideration to avoid forced vaccinations, discrimination, and unfair or disadvantageous treatment at schools and workplaces.
There is also a notification of the consultation desk on the Tokyo homepage. (Transit to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government homepage/open in a separate window)
