Tokyo `` Request for self-restraint to go out '' Considering distribution and restaurant companies response March 26 5:27
Governor Koike of Tokyo called on residents to stay out at night on weekdays as much as possible, and on weekends to refrain from unnecessary and urgent outings, reviewing business hours at department stores, supermarkets, restaurant chains, etc. We are planning to consider future measures, including those immediately.
Of these, some major department stores have already shortened their weekday business hours at stores in Tokyo, but the policy is to urgently consider how to open the store and work on weekends.
Major supermarkets want to decide what to do in the future based on the call from the capital, but because they deal with daily necessities, there are also places where they plan to continue business normally on weekends.
Convenience stores generally operate as usual, but if employees are unable to go to work, the policy is to discuss with the owner, including shortening business hours.
In addition, restaurant chains want to begin reviewing business hours and concretely discussing how to operate their stores.
