With the rapid spread of the new coronavirus infection, Miyagi prefecture, which is about to implement the country’s first “priority measures such as preventing the spread” together with Osaka and Hyogo prefectures on the 5th, has not stopped going out. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and professional baseball is tempted by the fact that Tohoku’s largest commercial facility just opened immediately after the start of the season. Citizens’ feet pop out of their homes as they grow accustomed to self-control and the crown, and the joyous spring “threesome.”
On the night of day 1, when the implementation of priority measures was decided, in Tsutsujigaoka park in Miyagino-ku, Sendai city, there were many visitors who saw cherry blossoms who took pictures of the cherry blossoms in full bloom with their Smartphones spread their sheets to eat lunch boxes.
A housewife (59) in Wakabayashi Ward, who sat on a bench with her oldest daughter (31) and had a can of beer, said: “Sakura is healthy. Spring has come.” The prefecture is asking to refrain from seeing cherry blossoms, but said: “I am tired of hearing the word ‘self-control’. I am not worried because it is outdoors.”
At Nishi Park in Aoba Ward, office workers and couples were seen drinking on the same night. A 23-year-old office worker in Aoba Ward who “drank sashi” with a high school student said, “I didn’t know I shouldn’t go see cherry blossoms. I have fewer opportunities to go drinking and I’m stressed.”
The large-scale retail facility “AEON MALL Shinrifu South Building” opened in Rifu City has the largest retail space in Tohoku, including the North Building, which opens in the summer. It is a popular facility with 35 specialty stores entering the Tohoku region for the first time. The food court and hands-on entertainment facilities were packed with people on the afternoon of Day 2, and parking lots with a capacity of 3,800 cars were blazing with numbers outside of the prefecture like Yamagata, Fukushima and Hachinohe.
Sayuri Kato (42), an office worker in Kesennuma city who visited her eldest son (13) in the second year of high school, said: “I was wondering whether to go to Sendai (due to the decision to apply measures priority), but my son was waiting for him. We are taking measures against the infection. “
7,247 spectators gathered for the night game of the Tohoku Rakuten-Orix match at Rakuten Seimei Park Miyagi in Miyagino Ward on Day 2. The average number of people per game in the three consecutive games that opened from March 26 to 28 was 14,555 , but after the 5th, the upper limit of 50% capacity (15,600 people) can be lowered further.
Masanori Fujisawa (65), an unemployed person in Taihaku Ward who is a fan of Rakuten, visited the place as a couple. “Events in various parts of the prefecture have been canceled and the only fun is baseball. There is no need to worry about infection because it is outdoors. The team appears to be taking comprehensive measures,” he said.
