Sapporo Susukino Road and city visit restaurants Request cooperation such as shortening business hours November 14, 5:29
As the infection of the new coronavirus spreads rapidly, Hokkaido and Sapporo City have opened restaurants with entertainment in order to thoroughly implement measures against infection in Susukino, a downtown area of Sapporo City where clusters = groups of infected people are one after another. I visited and called for cooperation in shortening business hours.
In the downtown area of Sapporo, Susukino, there have been 25 clusters of infected people so far, and the road will be open to restaurants and bars with entertainment until the 27th of this month in an attempt to curb the spread of infection. We are calling for shortening the business hours and the time for serving sake to izakaya and other places by 10 pm.
On the night of the 13th, 20 people in charge of the road and city visited about 200 stores and handed out leaflets to directly request that they refrain from doing business after 10 pm in order to respond to this call.
Masashi Imanishi, Chief of Corporate Activity Support, of the Road Countermeasures Headquarters, said, "I understand that restaurants are requesting shortening of business hours in a difficult situation, but I would like them to cooperate so that they can return to bright Susukino as soon as possible." I was talking.
