Calling for use of a corona infection control store in downtown area 4:31, August 7, Sumida-ku, Tokyo
To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in the downtown area at night, officials from public health centers patrolled Tokyo's Sumida Ward on the night of the 6th, calling for the use of stores that have taken countermeasures against infection.
On the evening of the 6th, about 20 people, including Toru Yamamoto, the Mayor of Sumida Ward, staff at the public health center, and people involved in the Federation of Shopping Districts, toured the downtown area around JR Kinshicho Station.
Starting this month, the ward has begun efforts to have its stores put on their own stickers at stores that have taken sufficient measures against infection, such as wearing masks and managing the physical condition of employees.
The party called on people who passed by to use the shop with the sticker when eating.
In addition, the public health center staff visited an izakaya and asked them to be cautious if customers were drinking okonoko.
The izakaya manager said, "I'm not satisfied with the measures I'm taking now and want to do whatever I can."
In addition, a man in his 30s who passed by in the city said, "If you have a sticker, you can know that it is a shop where measures are taken, so you can feel a little relieved."
“The city of Kinshicho has many restaurants, so we would like to support both infection control and sales,” said Yamamoto, Mayor of Sumida Ward.
