Then, we will switch to a request for shortening the working hours and a request for cooperation by 9 pm.
The movie theater "Cinema House Otsuka" in Toshima-ku, Tokyo has been closed since the end of last month in response to a request from the city, but due to this relaxation policy, it is scheduled to resume operations from the 1st of next month. is.
Preparatory work has begun at the movie theater for the resumption of business.
On the 29th, in order to keep the spectators away from each other as an infection prevention measure, the person in charge was working on tying a string to about half of the seats in the hall to prevent them from sitting.
Since not only movies but also small-scale events are held at this movie theater, we will ask the event organizer again not to shake hands when resuming.
Kazuo Goto, director of "Cinema House Otsuka," said, "I am very pleased with the relaxation of this measure, but there is a sudden feeling in the decision of the government, and there are some parts that are not surprising. I am happy to be able to resume business because I can see. "
