New Strain of Influenza Response Drill　Efforts by TMG　In December 2005, TMG formulated the TMG New Influenza Response Action Plan, and is stockpiling anti-viral drugs and other supplies. Based on the lessons of the new strain of influenza (A/H1N1) that occurred in April 2009, it has also formulated “theTMG BCP (New Influenza Version)” so that the government can continue to operate with limited staff, and has taken other steps in preparation for an outbreak of a new strain of influenza.　“The Act on Special Measures for Pandemic Influenza and New Infectious Diseases” was enacted in April 2013 to further improve the effectiveness of the response to an outbreak. Under this law, when the government has declared a state of emergency during an outbreak, TMG may request that people refrain from leaving their homes, close schools, restrict the use of facilities where people gather, and request the sale of medicines and food to TMG. The law also prescribes vaccine immunizations of residents by local governments. 　Following the enactment of the special measures act, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government established the Ordinance on New Type Influenza Response Headquarters in March 2013 and put into place a framework to address outbreaks of new types of influenza. In addition, the city's currently existing action plan, new-type influenza response manual, and municipal government BCP (new-type influenza version) have been integrated, and new items stipulated by an Act on special measures have been added, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Influenza Measures Action Plan was established in November 2013 and partially revised in July 2018.　An Act on Special Measures as applied until May 2023 to COVID-19, which was classified as a Class V infectious disease, and infection prevention measures were implemented in accordance with the action plan and other measures.Primary measures of the Tokyo Metropolitan Plan of Action Against New Strains of Influenza1 Surveillance and collection of 　information2 Information provision and 　sharing3 Consultations for Tokyo 　residents4 Preventing wider infection55
