Governor Koike said that Tokyo has been requesting restaurants that provide liquor from 10th to shorten business hours by 10 pm from the 3rd. "I don't care," he reminded both the business and the user to cooperate thoroughly with the efforts by the end of this month.

To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus through the meals, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is open to all restaurants that serve sake in Tokyo and all karaoke shops regardless of whether or not sake is served from the 3rd to the end of this month. We request that business hours be shortened by 10 pm.

Regarding this, Governor Koike of Tokyo told the reporters at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government office at 1 pm on the 4th, "Thank you for all the cooperation. Right now, I am doing my main purpose to prevent the spread of infection. It is not good for the measures to continue for a long period of time. In that sense, I am requesting that it will be during August." I would like both operators and users to thoroughly implement the measures by the end of this month. I called for cooperation again.

He added, "Thanks to various thoughts, I am thinking about it by 10 pm. There are also studies showing that the infection is spreading at dinners, so I would like to ask for your cooperation in preventing the spread of the infection." ..
