Persons involved in downtown areas such as Kabukicho New corona infection increased Tokyo Shinjuku Ward April 1, 16:32
According to Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, the number of people who are infected with the new coronavirus is increasing among those involved in downtown areas such as Kabukicho.
Since the latter half of last month, the number of infected people in Shinjuku Ward has been increasing in the same manner as in Tokyo as a whole, and cases of unknown routes of infection have been increasing as well.
Specifically, the number of infected people is increasing, such as employees of stores where Kabukicho and other stores with close contact with food and drinks are engaged, and those who conduct scouting calls to unspecified people. That means that it ’s harder to investigate.
According to Mayor Kenichi Yoshizumi of Shinjuku Ward, "Facility for hospitalization of infected people is also getting closer. We would like you to refrain from using unnecessary and urgent shops that are open from night to early morning."
