Truckers who support Corona logistics have trouble eating late at night. Aiki Hashimoto, a former truck driver and writer, said: “The highway service area closes at 8:00 PM. As I generally act alone and” quiet meals “are common, there is almost no risk of infection. I ignored the type of business. There is more work to do than a uniform application to save time. “

The number of bankruptcies of restaurant operators is the highest in history
The food and beverage industry has weathered the crown disaster for the past year.
Although I saw the light for a moment at GOTO Eat, the “third wave” hit the Japanese archipelago before the end of the year and the New Year holidays, which should be the busiest season, and the campaign was suspended. There was a cry from the industry.
According to a survey by Teikoku Databank, the number of bankruptcies of restaurant operators from January to December 2020 was 780, the highest in history. The restaurants that have survived have been operating every day, taking the best possible measures to reduce the risk of contagion.
The second state of emergency issued in such a situation. Along with this, restaurants in 11 prefectures were asked to reduce their business hours to 20:00.
“I did everything I could, but it may not be possible anymore. I think this (state of emergency) will be the ‘last stab’.”
An acquaintance who has been running a restaurant in front of a station in Tokyo for 30 years muttered without help.
The eating and drinking establishments are already at their limits. Even if the coronavirus itself has a “night-type” feature, why should only restaurants be required to operate in a short time until 20:00?
