Regarding the declaration of emergency to the four prefectures, the Japan Department Store Association, which is created by each department store, told the government after the 12th that it would like to expand its business as much as possible after thoroughly taking measures against infection even if the deadline for the declaration is extended. I submitted a request for "special consideration".
In the request form, regarding the request for further leave when the deadline for declaration is extended, considering the customer's request for resumption as a living infrastructure, the employment insecurity of employees, and the deterioration of business performance of business partners, we must take it as "extremely severe". I can't get it. "
On top of that, the association is requesting the government to give "special consideration", saying that it wants to expand its business as much as possible while taking into consideration the actual conditions of the region, after establishing a strong system for infection control.
The state of emergency to the four prefectures required large commercial facilities to be closed except for the sales floor for daily necessities, and department store companies continue to focus on groceries and cosmetics at stores in the target areas. Starting next week, some major department stores are looking to expand their sales floors after revisiting the targets of daily necessities.
