The long line in the department store after the Osaka declaration was lifted "The business was approved" May 22 19:48
On the 22nd, one night after the declaration of emergency was lifted, many people were shopping at the department store, which is already open in business, in the commercial district of Osaka Umeda.
At the Hankyu Umeda main store, there were long lines of people waiting for the opening at 11:00 am.

I love going out, so the declaration was lifted. I'm happy to be honest, but I'm careful about preventing infections by wearing a mask all the time. "
A female contractor in her 50s living in Kyoto Prefecture said, “I am finally relieved that the emergency declaration has been lifted.

A 20-year-old male college student who came to Umeda to resume his part-time job said, “My friends say they have no part-time jobs, so everyone has a hard time. Today, the train is crowded and I suddenly go out. I am worried that more people will be infected and the infection will not spread again. "
Clubs requesting a leave

Kazue Yamana, the owner of “Club Yamana,” a long-established club in Kitashinchi, has been operating the store for more than 50 years, but due to the spread of infection, the store has been closed since the last month.
We are aiming to restart business by taking infection prevention measures such as placing antiseptic solution at the entrance of the store and increasing the frequency of ventilation, but Osaka Prefecture has forgotten the cancellation of the leave request to the restaurant with entertainment.

Mr. Yamana said, "The staff who work only in this store are in a difficult situation because they have no income. If the situation is coming to an end, it is okay if it is a day, an early time, or a short time, so if the business is approved I am grateful. "
