Tokyo Metropolitan Governor Yuriko Koike requested the pachinko industry to close down in order to contain spreading COVID-19 on April 20.
April 26, Tokyo Metropolitan announced that they had requested 41 pachinko parlors directly by phone to close down. And Governor Koike said, 'We're going to make the parlors' name public on April 28, if they're going to continue their business.'
After that announcement, Tokyo Pachinko and Pachislot Cooperative Association (都遊協) gave members formal notice to request closing down parlors immediately. The association also gave warning that they were going to consider removing parlors that continue to operate after April 25 from the association.
There are about 780 pachinko parlors in Tokyo. And in spite of that warning 156 pachinko parlors had been still running as of April 26.
At noon on April 28, Governor Koike announced that all pachinko parlors in Tokyo closed down finally.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, however, extended the nationwide state of emergency for COVID-19 until the end of May. The state of emergency declared on April 7 asked people not to go out for unnecessary purposes until May 6.
But extending closing down increase all kinds of stores' losses and cause bankruptcy. So, to avoid economic death, some stores, such as retail, F&B, and leisure services may be open after May 7th. Of cause, I think, some pachinko parlors also will be reopened.
東京都は4月20日にパチンコホールに対して休業要請を行った。4月24日には、その時点で営業している店舗のうち41店舗に対して直接、電話で休業を要請した。
それまでも組合員に休業を要請していた東京都遊協は4月24日、「25日以降も営業を継続している店舗に対しては除名手続きを検討する」と通達した。
4月26日の時点で都内の約780店舗のうち156店舗が営業を継続していた。
東京都が営業を続けているパチンコホールの名前を公表する予定だった28日、小池都知事は「正午時点で、営業しているパチンコ店はなくなった」と発表した。
しかし政府は5月4日、当初5月6日までだった「新型コロナウイルス対策の特別措置法に基づく緊急事態宣言」の期限を5月末まで延長することを決定した。飲食店や小売、レジャーサービス店が休業を続ければ、損失は拡大する。経済的な死を避けるために、5月7日以降、営業を再開する店舗が現れるはずだ。
