The central government took the same step in April but has so far been reluctant to reimpose that broad measure because of the potential economic impact. Koike is due to hold an emergency news conference later on Thursday, where she will ask Tokyo residents to limit travel outside the metropolis as much as possible, Fuji News Network said.
