Governor Koike of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government told reporters at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government that the traffic volume in the city on the 8th of the day after the major holidays was increasing, and said, “The emergency declaration has just been extended.

Governor Koike of Tokyo responded to an interview by a press group at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office on the morning of the 8th.
Among them, Governor Koike said, "It's Friday today, but I feel that the traffic volume is increasing. I hear that the number of passengers on the train is also increasing. The emergency declaration has just been extended and it must be over here. The 2nd and 3rd waves will hit. It is a waste of time to put all this effort into a blister, "he said, calling for continued cooperation with the refraining from going out.
“On Friday, the test results show that the number of infected people tends to be high. While I am still worried that there will be many infected people on Fridays and Saturdays, if it decreases, it is the result of your efforts and cooperation. I want to go one step further from there, "he said.
Governor Koike also said that Yukio Okamoto, a diplomatic critic and assistant to the Prime Minister, had died after being infected with the new coronavirus. I was active as a diplomat, and there were various contacts such as Okinawa's problems, and I was able to learn from some of them. It was really shocking that a healthy person would suddenly die. ".
