Sapporo "daytime Kara" outbreaks one after another "Unexpected Karaoke at a coffee shop" June 12, 19:07
At a coffee shop where you can sing karaoke in the daytime in Sapporo, there is a series of outbreaks of new coronavirus. The city recognizes that karaoke at a coffee shop was unexpected, and calls for people to enjoy it by taking measures against infection, such as wearing a mask and singing.
In Sapporo city and its surroundings, 41 people including elderly customers and employees who visited 18 stores where karaoke can be played during the day were confirmed. Out of these, outbreaks of the new coronavirus have occurred at two coffee shops in Sapporo.
The Sapporo Health Center said, "The karaoke box is a request for closure, and we knew the possibility of spread of infection, but we could not understand the actual situation of karaoke in the coffee shop."
And the city and Hokkaido call for flying to keep away from other people, wear masks to sing, have adequate ventilation, and use multiple microphones to sterilize frequently. ..
Furthermore, in order to prevent the spread of infection, it is important to promptly identify the person who has contacted the infected person, and we are asking the store to confirm the contact information of the user.
User "only fun"
The "Karaoke Cafe" in Shiraishi Ward, Sapporo, is a place of relaxation for the elderly people in their 60s and older every day before noon.
At this shop, you can drink coffee for 1200 yen and have all you can drink coffee. Since it was possible to enjoy from noon to evening, 5 guests visited on 12th and enjoyed karaoke and chatting.
A man in his 80s who enjoys karaoke every week for 10 years says that his only pleasure is to meet his friends at this store.
The man said, “It's a good exercise to go from home to the store, and singing is good for my health, so I enjoy this place once a week. I'm very lonely."
At this shop, as a measure to prevent infection, we started to devise ways to keep people apart by partitioning the audience seats with partitions.
In addition, the singing place and the audience seats are blocked by a transparent sheet to prevent the spread of flying, and after singing, the microphone must be sanitized and ventilated once an hour.
Kuniko Morimoto, who runs the store, said, “It's a place to take a break from our daily lives. It's difficult now to say “Come to the store”, but we will continue to operate while firmly implementing infection prevention measures. I want to continue."
