According to a report by NHK, there are more than 30 new cases of covid on a single day in Tokyo, Japan on 2 June 2020, and the number of new cases in a single day is the highest since 14 May.

According to reports, among the newly infected people in Tokyo, mainly young people between the ages of 20 and 40, 30% of the infected people reported on 1 and 2 June were staff at night entertainment venues or customers.

In response to this situation, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has called on the public to be vigilant when going to entertainment venues. At the same time, as the proportion of newly infected people with unknown infection routes has exceeded the relevant standards, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has begun discussions on raising the "Tokyo Alarm" .

According to reports, once the "Tokyo Alarm" comes into effect, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will once again issue a suspension request for some industries. Earlier, after the Tokyo state lifted the emergency on 25 May, the suspension requirements for some industries have also been lifted. The entertainment industry in various parts of Japan has resumed business on 1 June, and Tokyo has also transitioned to the second stage of relaxing the suspension requirements. Movie theaters and commercial facilities have resumed business, and economic activities have officially restarted.
