Miyagi Prefecture has requested that restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages throughout Sendai City shorten their business hours from July 21 in response to the rapid increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in the prefecture. I decided to do it.

However, restaurants that are strengthening infection control certified by the prefecture will not be subject to the time saving request.

In response to the rapid increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Miyagi prefecture, the prefecture held a countermeasures headquarters meeting.



Among these, it is said that the spread of infection may continue if the number of people at night is not suppressed, so we will request the shortening of business hours for restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages throughout Sendai city. I decided.



The period is from July 21st to August 16th, and we request that the business hours be from 5 am to 9 pm.



Alcoholic beverages are served until 8 pm.



However, restaurants that are strengthening infection control certified by the prefecture will not be subject to the time saving request.



From July 21st, a soccer match for the Tokyo Olympics will be held in Rifu Town with spectators, and the prefecture wants to curb the spread of infection by making a request to shorten the time.



All requests for shortened working hours in the prefecture were canceled on June 14, but the request was issued again in just over a month.

Governor Murai "Infection is spreading to the younger generation"

Governor Murai of Miyagi Prefecture said at a press conference online from his business trip destination, Tokyo, "This time, the infection is spreading rapidly to the younger generation, including students in their 40s and 50s. Everyone at the store was in a state of calm as the economy returned, but I am sorry that the request was made to shorten the time again. There is a concern that the mutant virus confirmed in India will spread, so it is a tough decision, but I cooperate with the restaurant I would like to ask. "
