In order to strengthen efforts to curb the flow of people, Okinawa Prefecture is requesting large-scale commercial facilities with a floor area of over 1000 square meters to be closed on Saturdays and Sundays from the 5th, except for the sales floor for daily necessities.
In response to the request, some stores such as jewelry stores have started to close at "Department Store Ryubo" in Naha City.
Even in the grocery store, which is still open, the number of visitors is sparse, and the department store staff said that the number of customers is smaller than usual.
An 80-year-old woman living in Naha said, "I try to go shopping early when there aren't many people and go home immediately. I wonder why the prefecture didn't take strict measures during the holidays in May." I was talking.
Yoshiyasu Takaoka, the manager of department store Ryubo, said, "We are operating quietly on the premise of a safe and secure sales floor in accordance with the guidelines and the guidance of the prefecture. We want you to use it according to your lifestyle."
