Governor Koike of Tokyo will leave public affairs for the next few days because his doctor has decided that he needs to continue his rest.

With less than a month before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics and the confirmation of infection in Tokyo showing signs of expansion again, it will be an unusual situation for the city to proceed with the final preparations for the Games without the top management.

Governor Koike was admitted to a hospital in Tokyo on the 22nd of last week because he needed to rest due to excessive fatigue.



The trend from the beginning of the week was drawing attention, but on the night of the 27th, the doctor decided that he could not get rid of his fatigue and needed to continue resting, so he revealed that he would not return to public affairs after the 28th.



Vice Governor Tarao will continue to act on behalf of the Governor of Tokyo, as he will continue to rest for the next few days.



With the number of confirmed infections of the new coronavirus increasing in Tokyo and signs of expansion again, it is already less than a month before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics.



In addition, it is becoming more unclear how Governor Koike, who will serve as a special adviser to the "Tomin First no Kai" in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election, which will be held on the 4th of next month, will be involved in the election campaign.



During the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election, Tokyo, which is also the host city of the Olympic Games, will be in an unusual situation in which it will respond to the new Corona without the top management and prepare for the final preparations for the Games.
