TOKYO -- The Tokyo Metropolitan Government made a U-turn on Thursday and said it would allow restaurants, including izakaya, to operate until 8 p.m., during the country's monthlong state of emergency which was declared on Tuesday following an increase in coronavirus cases.
In addition to restaurants, the local government will also allow barber shops and certain parts of department stores to continue to operate.
On Thursday, the Tokyo government unveiled a list of businesses that it hoped would close during the state of emergency.
The list includes gaming arcades, karaoke bars, bowling alleys, gyms, universities and enrichment classes, theaters, and commercial facilities apart from supermarkets and restaurants.
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike had planned to make a formal request to those businesses immediately after the emergency declaration.
