In Japan, only three days after the government issued an emergency, Tokyo announced an industry that would request closure. Criticism has emerged as to whether the conflict between the central and local governments is causing them to miss Corona.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced the industry requesting a suspension of business from today (11th) to the 6th of the following month, three days after the emergency.

Priority is given to entertainment facilities, educational facilities such as colleges and entrance schools, and sports facilities and multi-use facilities such as theaters.

The restaurant, including the pub, asked to close at 8 PM.

Barber shops, beauty salons, and household goods stores have decided not to request closures.

According to the government's opinion, Governor Koike did not hide his complaints.

[Koike / Tokyo Governor: (As the government says) It's not a general crisis management, but rather to broaden the targets and gradually decrease them while looking at the situation.]

Experts criticize the government for fear of economic damage as the response to the government has slowed down.

[Professor of Crisis Management, Osawa / Chiba University of Science: There was a difference between what the government declared and how it was designed for emergencies. If this (infection) spreads, the government is responsible.]

Among these, 189 infections were confirmed in Tokyo yesterday, with the most confirmed.

Until the effectiveness of the emergency declaration, the crisis of the infection explosion is unlikely to go away.
