The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will hold a council to hear opinions from experts in order to consider whether it is possible to further ease requests such as leave requests, and will make a careful judgment based on the opinions provided.

In response to the cancellation of the emergency declaration, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will begin gradual mitigation such as requesting leave on 26th, and will promote mitigation on the premise that the spread of infection is suppressed.

Against this backdrop, the capital held a council with doctors and experts on the night of 28th to listen to the opinions of experts and consider whether it can be further eased.

At the beginning, Governor Koike said, "I would like to hear your opinions from a professional perspective, such as the current situation and where you need to be careful in the future."

If you proceed from the current mitigation step "Step 1" to the next "Step 2", you will be able to restart schools, theaters, retail stores other than daily necessities, but the capital is the latest infection situation. We will make a careful judgment based on the opinions given by the Council.
