The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which is expected to issue a fourth state of emergency, is coordinating to request restaurants not to serve alcohol as in the previous declaration.
However, the number of stores that do not respond to repeated requests for shortened working hours and closures is increasing, and ensuring effectiveness is an issue.
In Tokyo, the re-expansion has not stopped, with more than 900 confirmed infections on the 7th, and the government plans to issue a fourth state of emergency, which will be officially decided by the response headquarters on the 8th. ..
As a measure to be taken during the period of the new declaration, the capital is coordinating to request restaurants not to serve alcohol as in the case of the third declaration by June 20th.
In addition, the policy is to require stores that do not offer the service to open shorter hours until 8:00 pm.
However, the management of restaurants has become even more difficult due to the repeated requests for shortened working hours and closures, and the number of restaurants that do not respond is increasing, so the issue is whether to ensure effectiveness.
In addition, the Tokyo Olympics, which is about to open two weeks later, is expected to be held in the midst of a state of emergency.
Although a plan to make the audience unattended is being considered, it is unclear whether there will be much support for maintaining the holding policy while demanding restrictions from the citizens of Tokyo and businesses.
