Tokyo Call for urgent refrain from going out of the way New Coronavirus March 28 5:45
With the spread of the new coronavirus in Tokyo, a weekend starts on the 28th, urging the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to refrain from unnecessary and urgent outings. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has said that purchasing necessities for daily necessities and going to hospitals is a necessary outing, but it is urging people to take action by thinking about things that cannot be done on the same day, such as refraining from cherry blossom viewing every year.
In Tokyo, 40 new cases were confirmed on the 27th, and more than 40 cases were confirmed in Tokyo for three consecutive days.
Governor Koike stated at a press conference on the 27th that he felt a strong sense of danger, stating that "it is the last minute to control the infection explosion." In particular, the two days of the weekend on the 28th and 29th are unnecessary to prevent the spread of infection. He called for a sudden outing.
The city has not called for self-restraint because it is a necessary outing to buy necessities and go to the hospital.
On the other hand, for example, we want to cancel cherry blossom viewing every year, so we have taken unusual measures to block some of the parks at three metropolitan parks such as Ueno Onshi Park, which are famous for cherry blossoms.
The city is calling for action, thinking about what can be done only on that day.
