Emergency Declaration Call for self-restraint in downtown Tokyo April 10, 22:25
While the spread of the new coronavirus has not stopped, Tokyo has begun to work directly with passers-by in downtown areas such as Shinjuku Kabukicho to cooperate with self-restraint.
It has been confirmed that 189 new people have been infected with the new coronavirus on the 10th in Tokyo.
Under these circumstances, Tokyo has begun to call on pedestrians and commercial facilities directly in major downtown areas to cooperate with self-restraint.
In Shinjuku Kabukicho, 15 people, including staff from the capital and Shinjuku Ward, as well as members of the Medical Association, make tours and hold up stickers such as "STAY HOME" (stay home) while passing as much as possible to passers-by. I was calling to get home early.
In Kabukicho on the night of the 10th, crowds are sparse, and some restaurants are temporarily closing down or shortening business hours.However, the city has visited such downtown areas to prevent the spread of infection. For the time being, I want to continue.
Haruo Kunieda, Director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Safety Promotion Headquarters in Tokyo, said, "While the number of cases in which the infection route is unknown continues to increase, we would like to ask the Tokyo residents and businesses to cooperate in refraining from going out."
Police patrol
At around 8:00 p.m. on the 10th around Shimbashi Station in Minato-ku, Tokyo, police officers in uniform patrol the streets where restaurants are located.
On the 10th, many people were heading to the station quickly, but some people drinking canned beer etc. on the street and in nearby parks were seen, and police officers are calling for self-restraint to go out. I called out.
The Metropolitan Police Department has no compulsory request to go out of control, but after drinking alcohol, it calls out to several people on the street and touts, and calls for self-restraint.
In addition, the number of restaurants that have been closed has increased, and the company has been strengthening its patrols on narrow alleyways to prevent theft from targeting stores and offices.
