[00:01.08]Tokyo's government has reported an increasing spread of COVID-19
[00:08.72]since May in neighborhoods where the sex industry is active.
[00:15.84]Now, officials have released some coronavirus education videos starring,
[00:23.68]and targeting, workers of the so-called "red light" areas.
[00:30.92]In the videos, the young men and women question a doctor.
[00:37.64]"What kind of symptoms can a young COVID-19 patient expect,"
[00:43.92]asks one performer."
[00:46.84]How often should we sanitize our hands," says another.
[00:53.96]The videos are seven to eight minutes long.
[00:57.72]Some of the questions are simple
[01:00.32]and can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no."
[01:06.00]Other questions seek more detailed answers,
[01:09.88]such as steps to take to avoid coronavirus,
[01:14.64]or an explanation of treatments and costs of COVID-19.
[01:22.88]The doctor in the videos gives advice
[01:26.32]to operators of red-light stores and social gathering places.
[01:32.32]He suggests they check each customer's temperature
[01:37.44]before permitting them to enter any public establishment.
[01:43.24]He also says seats should be separated by a safe distance.
[01:49.12]And, he advises people against drinking out of the same container,
[01:55.28]a traditional activity in some businesses.
[02:01.40]Tokyo has seen new COVID-19 infections of more than 200 a day
[02:08.40]in four of the last six days.
[02:12.56]That is extremely small compared to outbreaks in cities in several other countries.
[02:19.36]But, the spread in Tokyo is breaking city records.
[02:24.04]The majority of new infections are among people in their 20s and 30s
[02:30.08]with few or no signs of the disease,
[02:34.08]making it hard for public health workers to investigate the spread.
[02:41.28]The Tokyo government has targeted red-light areas
[02:45.48]for aggressive coronavirus testing programs.
[02:50.80]It also is urging businesses to observe
[02:54.72]public health safety guidelines connected to COVID-19.
[03:02.52]Japanese Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura has warned that nightclubs
[03:09.64]could be closed if they do not follow the rules.
