An Izakaya (Japanese style resuaurant and bar), which had been temporarily closed to prevent the spread of new coronavirus COVID-19 infection, restarts at bustling district in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo on May 26, 2020, one day after Japan declared that all state of emergency issue was lifted. Staffs wear face mask to serve customers and prepared chopsticks for taking servings from a common dish onto their own plate. The counter is covered with vinyl sheets to prevent the splash infection, and the marks are set to maintain social distance. Tokyo Metropolitan Government has started to ease restrictions on schools, restaurants, museums and other sports events in three stages. Japan has continued to request people to avoid three Cs: Closed spaces, Crowded spaces, Close-contact settings across the nation. ( The Yomiuri Shimbun via AP Images )
