Following the declaration of an emergency due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the Metropolitan Police Agency called on people visiting Shinjuku and Kabukicho, Japan's largest downtown area, to cooperate to refrain from going out.
In Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, on the 10th night, three police officers working at the police box wore masks and patrol the streets with restaurants and karaoke shops.
Usually, despite the crowded crowd of Friday nights, there were few people, but young people gathered in front of restaurants and convenience stores, and police officers said, `` A request to refrain from going out is issued. So please come back early and ask for your help. "
They also called for patrol cars to go outside in Japanese and foreign languages.
There is no enforcement or penalty for requesting self-restraint, but the Metropolitan Police Department will continue calling for prevention of infection spread and strengthen patrols to prevent theft damage at stores and offices that are closed. .
