The number of new coronavirus cases continues to drop. This is greatly due to the infection prevention measures taken by you, the people and businesses of Tokyo. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

May I also again thank the doctors, nurses, and other health care providers of Tokyo for your enormous dedication and efforts.

However, the coronavirus is not yet fully contained. And on top of this, we are
approaching the season where we must be on the alert against the spread of influenza.

In order to protect your families, dear friends, and society as a whole, please
continue to always take the basic steps to prevent infection.
