Suginami-ku, Tokyo has begun an initiative to distribute carbon dioxide concentration measuring instruments free of charge to approximately 4,300 restaurants in the ward in order to help prevent infection.
Distribution of measuring instruments began last week, and at the restaurant in Asagaya, Suginami-ku, which arrived on the 16th, the measuring instruments were immediately installed on the shelves in the center of the store.
At this store, we have opened and closed the doors of the doorways and the windows at the back of the store by looking at the number of customers, but from now on, we will respond while looking at the values of the measuring instruments.
The store has responded to requests from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, such as shortening business hours, and is taking thorough measures, but after the Corona disaster, sales have been halved compared to before. ..
Ms. Mikiko Nakamura (70), who runs a store as a couple, said, "If you look at the numbers, it's easy to understand as a guide, so we also care about it diligently, and I think it's good for customers as much as possible. I want to do my best. "
Yoshiya Hitomi, Chief of the Suginami Ward Crisis Management Countermeasures Division, said, "I hope that the measuring instruments will be used for infection control so that the residents can use the restaurants with peace of mind. I want you to manage to survive this difficult situation. "
Efforts to distribute carbon dioxide concentration measuring instruments to restaurants free of charge were carried out last year in Chiyoda Ward as well as in Tokyo.
In Suginami Ward, in addition to restaurants, we are planning to take measures such as installing about 670 units in ward facilities such as regional inhabitant centers and schools.
