In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture, said, "At first glance, refusal" to prevent people from 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures in the metropolitan area who have been declared a state of emergency from using restaurants in the city. We have begun efforts to provide posters that say,

There are some words that ask us to come to the store after the declaration is lifted, but there are voices of pros and cons over the wording.

Gotemba City is close to 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, such as adjacent to Kanagawa Prefecture, and we created a poster calling on people in this area not to use restaurants in the city while a state of emergency is declared. ..



In the poster, after mentioning the state of emergency in 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, "We will refuse at first glance, such as customers coming from the relevant area. When the state of emergency is lifted, everyone We look forward to welcoming you. "

On the 7th of this month, the city distributed this poster to about 200 restaurants in the city, including around Gotemba Station, and made it possible to download the desired stores from the city's website.



According to Gotemba City, while there were voices of gratitude that "the store made words that are difficult to say", there were also negative opinions that "the text was too strict", and the city had 50 cases by 3:00 pm on the 12th. It means that the above opinions have been received.



A woman at a Chinese restaurant in front of Gotemba Station posted a poster at the entrance of the store, saying, "If you are a regular customer, you can contact me immediately if something happens, but at first glance you are different, so please come. I'm afraid. I'm grateful for the posters in the city. "

Tatsuya Takiguchi, Economic Diplomacy Strategy Supervisor of Gotemba City, said, "Posters are not compulsory, but I dared to use strict words based on the requests of business operators in the city. I hope you understand that the spread of infection can be suppressed as soon as possible. I think. "
