Japan’s second largest city also tells people to stay in their homes during the period.
Now, one day after Tokyoites were told to stay in their homes, people in all four of its neighboring prefectures are being told to stay out of the city.
Tokyo is already the largest city in Japan, but its population temporarily swells even higher every day.
On the same night that Koike was imploring Tokyoites to stay home this weekend, she also spoke with Saitama Governor Motohiro Ono, saying that cooperation from Tokyo’s neighboring prefectures is a necessity.
So on Thursday afternoon Ono asked that Saitama residents refrain from all non-essential travel into Tokyo over the weekend.
