Tokyo govt. considering reopening more businesses

 

The Tokyo metropolitan government will decide on Friday whether to further ease its request for measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, taking into consideration the impact on the economy.

 

Tokyo government officials listened to experts' opinions on Thursday and held a discussion. But they could not reach a conclusion on going to the next step, as they said the experts were taking a cautious attitude. Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko said, "We asked experts for their analyses. I'll consider their opinions and make a final decision on Friday."

 

The central government lifted its remaining emergency declaration on Monday, including Tokyo. Tokyo government officials started to gradually ease its requests and are studying the possibility of allowing retail shops dealing in non-essential goods to reopen. But the number of confirmed cases in Tokyo has increased for three days in a row until Thursday although the daily increases remain low.
