On October 9, we had a mini-meeting with regular voluntary members, Sagami Women’s University group and Vietnamese group. We haven’t had such meetings for three months since July 10, due to the corona crisis.
We’ve made it one of the conditions of holding a meeting that there’re less than 5,000 newly Covid-19 infections in Tokyo two days prior to the meeting.
The number of new cases on Friday, October 7, was 3,016. This figure does not assure we’re all safe, but we decided to hold the meeting because we believe that the risk of new outbreaks of infection at the meeting is low.
There were 16 participants, and we all worked by taking body temperature, disinfecting hands with alcohol, and filling in our contact information.
We finished cleaning and refurbishing 16 out of 37 units destined for Pakistan on short notice. We also finished packing 7 wheelchairs for India, to which we’re planning to send 90 at the end of the year. Now that we have 50 units ready for India, we hope to have the remaining 40 completed by the end of November, with outside help.
Thank you for joining today, Sagami Uni group and Vietnamese group.
