Tokyo's iconic Shibuya 109 building closes temporarily to prevent spread of coronavirus soranews24.com

On Wednesday night, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike held a press conference where she informed the public that 41 new cases of coronavirus had been reported in the capital.
However, a surprise announcement has just been made by one of Tokyo’s most popular hangouts for young people, the iconic Shibuya 109 shopping complex, to help ensure Koike’s request doesn’t fall on deaf ears.
The official site reveals the closure will be in effect all weekend, from Saturday through to Sunday, with shorter trading hours on Friday and Monday seeing stores open from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Some restaurants and stores may have slightly different trading hours when they’re open, but the doors to the entire complex, and the nearby Magnet building run by Shibuya 109, will be closed all weekend.
