The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has extended the "rebound alert period" by about one month to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, while reducing the use of restaurants from four people per group to eight people. I decided.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government held a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters for the novel coronavirus on the 21st to discuss future measures.
In this situation, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will set a "rebound warning period" due on the 24th of this month to 22 next month in order to prevent the re-spread of infection and avoid the tightness of the medical care provision system in light of the long holidays when the number of people will increase. I decided to extend it by about one month until the day.
In response to this, we will continue to ask restaurants to cooperate, such as limiting the number of people, but the number of people will be relaxed from 4 people per group to 8 people.
We request that you stay within 2 hours as before.
If the target is a certified store and all the customers are negative, we will not continue to ask for restrictions on the number of people or the length of stay.
On the other hand, uncertified stores are required to limit the number of people to 4 people, stay for 2 hours, and serve alcoholic beverages by 9 pm.
In addition, for the citizens of Tokyo, actions to avoid crowded places and time, thorough infection control when traveling across prefectures for homecoming and travel, and the third vaccination before the Golden Week holidays. We ask for your cooperation.
Governor Koike said, "We will accelerate vaccination and work on infection control measures to avoid rebounds at all costs."
