Koike seeks to put cork in street drinking as virus cases rise : The Asahi Shimbun

People gather and drink alcohol on a street in Tokyo’s Kabukicho district on April 19. (Toshiyuki Hayashi) Tokyo is taking new steps to tamp down on public drinking in the streets to reduce the novel coronavirus’ spread, a move that comes just ahead of an expected third state of emergency. Metropolitan and ward government officials, together with police officers and fire department staff, will start patrolling streets in the capital’s Kabukicho district starting at 8:30 p.m. on April 23 to discourage street drinking, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said. “Curbing street drinking will lead to infection prevention,” Koike said at a news conference earlier in the day. “I want to strengthen measures mainly in nightlife districts.”

news Daily coronavirus infections hit record highs in 14 Japan prefectures over past month The Mainichi © The Mainichi (Mainichi) TOKYO Coronavirus infections hit single-day highs in 14 of Japan s 47 prefectures over the past month, though many of the prefectures are not subject to quasi-emergency measures that have been implemented to curb the spread of the virus. As of April 19, quasi-emergency virus measures had not been implemented in 10 of the 14 prefectures where daily infection numbers hit record highs. These prefectures lie mainly in the Tohoku region in northeast Japan and the Shikoku region in west Japan, and although infection numbers in those areas are not as high as in Osaka Prefecture and the Tokyo metropolitan area, where coronavirus variants have spread, experts fear the increase could cause local medical systems to collapse.

(Mainichi/Kenji Ikai) TOKYO Coronavirus quasi-emergencies have gone into effect in six Japanese cities in three prefectures Osaka, Hyogo and Miyagi with sudden infection surges. The new municipal-level measures include shortened business hour requests for restaurants and bars, but also demand that people refrain from frequenting karaoke spots, which the previous states of emergency had not. Behind these developments lies a shift in the structure of the pandemic: cluster infections are diversifying.
