Government Response Policy April 11, 4:08 to request self-restraint of eating and drinking accompanying customers outside the target area

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus outbreak in downtown areas at night, the government has strongly refrained from eating and drinking with customers outside of the areas subject to the "Emergency Declaration" based on the law. What we encourage them to do is included in their basic response policy.

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, the government has determined that the “Basic Response Policy” for many prefectures, including Tokyo, subject to the “Emergency Declaration” based on the Special Measures Law, has a large number of infected people = clusters. We encourage people of all ages to refrain from eating and drinking with customers in downtown areas that occur.

However, according to government officials, there were cases where infections were spreading in such areas as employees who worked in restaurants serving customers in seven prefectures began to work in downtown areas other than the target area. That is.

For this reason, to prevent clusters from occurring in downtown areas nationwide, the government will include in the Basic Policy to promote strong self-restraint of eating and drinking with customers outside of the area targeted by the Declaration of Emergency. This means that the Response Headquarters, which will open on the 11th, will revise the response policy.
