EPA’s Eye In The Sky: Osaka, Japan

An intersection in central Osaka is deserted in Osaka, Japan, 22 May 2020, a day after it reopened for business following the government's decision to lift a state of emergency over the coronavirus pandemic for the three western prefectures including Osaka. Although businesses have been slowly resuming in the region, the number of visitors to otherwise popular observatory and shopping complex has dropped to almost one-tenth, says an employee of the Kintetsu Real Estate who manages the property. The streets of Osaka remained quieter than usual as many fear that lifting emergency measures might be premature. Tokyo, the country?s capital, still remains in a state of emergency.
