First weekend after quasi-emergency expansion, people are recommended to "avoid traveling far, visit nearby places"
まん延防止拡大、初の週末 「遠出避けて近場へ」
The 22nd marked the first weekend since the quasi-state of emergency for preventing the spread of COVID came into effect for an additional thirteen prefectures, including the Tokyo metropolitan area, Tokai, and Kyushu. In the morning, tourists wearing masks could be seen coming and going around Asakusa in Tokyo.
"I felt reluctant to travel far, but I figured there was no need to worry too much," said a female office worker from Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, who was visiting Sensoji Temple and other spots with her son (4) and others.
She wondered if she should refrain from going out, but decided, "I will avoid crowded times and will not stay for long. I want to enjoy sightseeing in the neighborhood while finding ways to reduce the risk of infection."
