At a special meeting on the 17th, Governor Kensaku Morita announced that he would request karaoke restaurants and shops in 12 cities in Chiba prefecture to refrain from doing business from 10 pm to 5 am. The term is 20 days from January 23 to 11 of next year. In response to the rapid increase in the number of people infected with the new corona virus in the prefecture, we have taken the lead in stronger requests. (Hideki Nakatani)

The target areas are Chiba, Ichikawa, Urayasu, Funabashi, Narashino, Yachiyo, Kamagaya, Matsudo, Kashiwa, Gagoko, Ryuyama, and Noda. Eleven cities other than Chiba are requesting that they refrain from serving alcoholic beverages after 10 p.m. from 2 to 22 this month. Governor Morita asked for their understanding and said: “It is painful. There was an effect (of refraining from providing), but the spread of the infection is beyond that range.”

A uniform cooperation fee of 800,000 yen (40,000 yen per day) will be paid to stores according to the time reduction for the 20 days at a later date. According to the prefecture, the goal is up to 26,000 stores run by small and medium-sized businesses. The total amount of cooperation money is supposed to be 211 billion yen, and all financial resources will be borne by the national treasury. We ask the commercial operator to send photos of the actually closed stores.

The current refusal to provide alcoholic beverages has been criticized without a cooperation fee. He also supported the government’s policy of paying cooperating companies twice as much as before (20,000 yen a day).

In addition, as of the 17th, to avoid leaving unnecessarily and urgently, the prefectural tourism support measure “Discover Chiba” linked to the government’s “Go To Travel” was suspended, and eat and drink at the store with ” Go To Eat “. We will also refrain from doing so. Governor Morita asked for cooperation and said: “Standing now will be a defeated crown.”
