Prior to the full cancellation of the leave request on the 19th, the first "Measures Liaison Meeting" was held to discuss infection prevention measures in Tokyo's largest entertainment district, Shinjuku, Tokyo, and the government and government agencies worked together to take measures. We will proceed.
The “Countermeasures Liaison Meeting” was established by Shinjuku City before the cancellation request for the capital was completely canceled on the 19th. 40 people participated.
Even though this month's downtown area of Shinjuku, Tokyo, has been continuously infected with new coronaviruses at host clubs and so on since the beginning of this month, depending on the ward, cooperation with the PCR test of people related to the night town can be obtained. It is also that the fact that the number of people who respond to the inspection is increasing is also affecting.
At the meeting, Kenichi Yoshizumi, the ward mayor, asked for cooperation, saying, "In order to achieve the goal of stopping the infection, although we are in a different position, we want to share our thoughts and restore the original vibrant city as soon as possible."
After that, opinions were exchanged about the infection prevention guidelines for business operators shown by the metropolitan area, and participants asked questions about support for the cost of measures.
Kaori Koga, President of the Japan Water Business Association, said, "I think it would be a great step forward for the government to work together on the measures. If it could be delivered to the downtown areas of Japan as a successful case," he said.
In Shinjuku City, we will continue to hold liaison meetings irregularly in the future, and in addition to promoting measures in cooperation with restaurants, we aim to develop our own guidelines.
