“Cinema” “Theater” “Department” “Restaurant” Emergency declaration What is the second difference?
An emergency declaration is expected to be announced on the 7th for 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures. The period is adjusted to approximately one month. Residents of 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures are asked to refrain from going out unnecessarily after 8pm, but how will their lives change?
The previous emergency declaration called for the closure of a wide range of facilities such as cinemas and theaters. Even department stores had to be closed, except for the necessities section.
“Usually even in this department store, which has a lot of traffic, the blinds are closed all the time, and we will be closed temporarily starting today.” (Reporter)
