Borders subject to "priority measures" The downtown area of the north exit of JR Tsudanuma Station
The downtown area at the north exit of JR Tsudanuma Station was divided between the target Funabashi City and the non-target Narashino City, and some people were confused.
Funabashi City and Narashino City are adjacent to each other around JR Tsudanuma Station, and in the downtown area at the north exit of the station, Funabashi City and Chiba City are not applicable to Tokyo and Narashino City. Will be.
Requests for shortening business hours to 8 pm, one hour earlier than before, were issued only to the Funabashi City side, and the response was different in the adjacent area, and the restaurants were confused. It was.
Funabashi City side "Take measures for the same area in front of the station as a whole"
Among them, Keisuke Hayami, who runs a soba shop that has been running for about 40 years on the Funabashi City side where priority measures are applied, said, "We have no choice but to comply with the request, but when the end is 8 pm, it will greatly affect sales. The boundary is a story that has nothing to do with the customers who come to Tsudanuma, and it would be more feasible to have the same area in front of the station take measures as a whole. "
Narashino City side "There is a risk that customers will flow and sales will increase"
On the other hand, Shunsuke Toyokawa, the manager of a Mexican restaurant on the Narashino City side, which is not subject to the priority measures, said, "Since one hour at night is big, I think that customers may flow from Funabashi and sales may increase. However, at the same time, the risk of infection increases, so we must consider further hygiene measures. "
Also, regarding the fact that the amount of cooperation money will be smaller when the time is shortened compared to the target area, "I would like to devise and fill in the small amount, but after all the stores in the same area will be the same amount for the entire area, etc. I want you to devise countermeasures.

Governor Omura, who had a press conference on the evening of the 20th, announced that he would add new requests for tourist facilities, commercial facilities, and events where people are expected to gather during the Golden Week holidays.
As a result, for amusement parks, tourist facilities, and events in the prefecture, after requesting strengthening measures such as admission restrictions and controlling the flow of customers, crowding of people is unavoidable and sufficient infection control cannot be taken. In some cases, we request that you refrain from doing business or holding events.
We are also requesting large-scale commercial facilities such as shopping malls to postpone or refrain from bargain sales and events during the Golden Week holidays.
