The Japanese welfare ministry will draw up guidelines for security measures at care facilities in the wake of a deadly knife rampage at a facility for the disabled, according to an article on the Japan Times website.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will draw up the guidelines by fall at the latest, according to the official.
The move comes after a 26-year-old man allegedly killed 19 people and injured 26 others at the care home in Sagamihara.
Other than installing security cameras, the ministry is considering requiring facility operators to introduce emergency call systems to enable quick access to police and security companies, according to the officials.
