The governors of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa will meet online and jointly work on the two-week extension of the state of emergency, in addition to requesting restaurants to shorten their business hours. For example, we have confirmed that we will call for refraining from going out unnecessarily, such as cherry blossom viewing.
Following the extension of the state of emergency for two weeks, the governors of the three prefectures exchanged opinions online on future measures and summarized the extension period and matters to be jointly addressed after that.
According to this, we will continue to request shortening of business hours until 8:00 pm during the extension period of the declaration and until 9:00 pm after the declaration is canceled.
The cooperation fee is the same for each city and three prefectures, and will be 60,000 yen per day during the extension period and 40,000 yen per day after cancellation, and we will ask the government for financial support.
In addition, ahead of the end of the fiscal year when people's movements become active, we will continue to call on the citizens of Tokyo and the prefecture to refrain from going out unnecessarily.
For example, we have decided to ask them to refrain from cherry blossom viewing.
In addition, as a request to the government, it is the responsibility of the government to build a cooperation fund system according to the scale of the business, to expand the temporary support money to businesses affected by the shortened business, and to utilize negative certification. It mentions thorough measures at the water's edge, such as obliging the use of smartphone apps.
Governor Koike of Tokyo said, "It is necessary for each person to work on their own, and to return to the starting point. I would like to make a strong call in each of the three prefectures."
