12:19 on March 20 affected by passenger traffic around JR Osaka Station
In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, Osaka Prefecture demanded that the city refrain from unnecessary and urgent traffic between Osaka and Hyogo. Some voiced that it was getting more severe.
Among them, a man in his 50s in Osaka City said, "I think that there are places that are affected by business, such as commercial facilities, but there is no way to prevent the spread of infection."
On the other hand, a woman in her twenties who went to work from Kobe in Osaka / Umeda by train said, "I came here because I couldn't afford to take a break from calling for self-restraint. I do. "
Another woman in her twenties said, "I'm already skeptical about going out, so I'm wondering how effective this call would be. I don't know the purpose."
Also, a coffee shop operating in front of Hankyu Corporation's Osaka Umeda Station has been affecting customers' feet since the morning of the 20th. According to the coffee shop manager, “The number of customers has decreased for the last three weeks due to the effects of the new coronavirus, but today it has decreased to about half of ordinary holidays. I just want to do that. "
