Osaka Prefecture is requesting the government to issue the third "state of emergency".
When a state of emergency is declared, it is considering stronger measures than the last two declarations.
The site is busy with various measures.
Three proposals for restaurants in Osaka Prefecture
Regarding restaurants, we have been requested to shorten the business hours twice in the past, but this time we are considering stronger measures.
1 "Request all restaurants to be closed"
2 "
Request to be closed on
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, open until 8 pm on weekdays and do not serve alcoholic beverages"
3 "Not requested to be closed The time is until 8 pm and we will not serve alcoholic beverages
. "
How do restaurants perceive these policies?
Restaurant "This time is really shocking"
Izakaya, which has been in business for 30 years in Dotonbori, says that even if it can be opened, it will have a big impact if it cannot serve alcoholic beverages.
For this store, the Golden Week holidays are the best time of the year.
The store had just hired four new part-time workers to regain sales after the second state of emergency was lifted.
While the policies of the prefecture and the country have not been decided yet, it is said that future plans cannot be made, such as how many part-time workers will be needed for the day.
The owner's man said, "We will cooperate fully to get the corona settled quickly, but it's a store where you can have beer or alcohol and eat yakitori or kushikatsu, so this time it's amazing. I'm really shocked. It's a shame and regrettable that there are a lot of people who have a part-time job, so it's a shame that they don't make the most money when they make the most money. "
Sushi restaurant "If you decide, decide early"
On the other hand, the long-established sushi restaurant in Hozenji Yokocho believes that even if a request for closure is made this time, it must be obeyed in order to curb the spread of infection.
This store is a leader in infection control in Minami, Osaka, with the advice of experts since June last year after the first state of emergency was declared.
In order to prevent clusters from leaving the store, we have installed equipment such as acrylic boards to reduce the number of customers and allow customers who know the history at the time of booking to come.
The shopkeeper said, "It's too sad and lonely for a business person, but I think it's unavoidable. I think it's the quickest to stop people. If you decide, please decide early. The conclusion should be fast." I'm talking to you.
The idea of requesting closure of large-scale facilities
This time, Osaka Prefecture is planning to request closure of large-scale facilities such as department stores and theme parks where people gather.
Specifically, in
addition to large-scale department stores,
▽ shopping malls
▽ underground malls
▽ large movie theaters
are also considering closing requests.
At large-scale commercial facilities and entertainment facilities where requests for leave are being considered, some movements have been made to stop accepting reservations.
Underground shopping mall "The aisle can be passed even if the store is closed"
In "Osaka Chikagai", a company that operates six underground shopping malls such as "Whity Umeda" and "Namba Walk" in Osaka City, "If a closure request is made, a total of 600 stores will move in and respond to the request. I think it will be requested, but at the moment I do not know the specific content, so I would like to collect information and consider detailed measures. "
Even if the store is closed, the aisles in the underground shopping mall will be in a state where they can pass as usual.
Some places stop accepting movie theater reservations
On the other hand, some movie theaters stop accepting reservations.
At "TOHO Cinemas", we have decided to suspend the advance sale of reserved-seat tickets at movie theaters in Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto from the screening on the 22nd, and sell only the tickets on the day.
In the future, as a measure in case a request for leave is issued, pre-sale will be suspended at movie theaters nationwide after the screening on the 23rd.
In addition, at "Osaka Station City Cinema", there are a series of movements to suspend the acceptance of reservations, such as suspending pre-sale of tickets from the 22nd.
Hanshin May 2nd Army Hiroshima Battle Admission Ticket Release Suspended
Professional baseball and the J-League have indicated that if a state of emergency is declared, they should follow the judgment of the local government and continue the game with spectators.
Kansai-based teams such as Hanshin and Gamba Osaka and J1 clubs are expected to follow this idea and coordinate with local governments on how to hold the event.
Of these, Hanshin said that it is not possible to predict what kind of policy will be shown in the future by the state of emergency, so among the official games of the 2nd army, the admission ticket for the Hiroshima 3 consecutive games scheduled from 14th to 16th next month will be released at Koshien Stadium I decided to forgo it.
Each Kansai-based team and club has already limited the number of spectators in the sponsored games in response to the application of "priority measures such as spread prevention" to Osaka and Hyogo.
Governor Yoshimura "Determine specific measures on the day the government decides to issue a declaration"
If the government decides to issue a state of emergency to Osaka at a press conference on the 21st, Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture will hold a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters on the same day to ask the citizens and businesses He showed his thoughts on deciding the measures.
Governor Yoshimura's policy to double the number of patrols
In addition, Governor Yoshimura has announced a policy to double the current 300-member system to 600-member system for the "patrolling team" that checks whether restaurants and other facilities are observing the measures requested by the prefecture. ..
