Declaration of emergency JR East At this stage, regular service continued without reducing flights 18:32 on April 7

At a press conference on the 7th, JR East President Yuji Fukasawa did not reduce the number of flights even at the time of the "Declaration of Emergency" given the spread of the new coronavirus, and measures to prevent infection by station staff etc. After thoroughness, he showed his intention to continue operating on regular schedules.

In this statement, President Fukasawa said, "Even if a declaration of emergency is made, we do not consider reducing flights at this stage unless requested by the government etc. We are thinking about operating as usual" After thoroughly implementing measures to prevent infection of station staff and crew members, he stated that he would continue to operate on regular schedules.

On the other hand, JR East will cancel sales of reserved seats for special trains such as Shinkansen from January 1 to 31 including large consecutive holidays, but President Fukasawa has yet to decide whether to cancel the operation of the temporary train itself. I showed you the idea to judge.
