TOKYO -- Fewer people were on the streets in Japan on Wednesday, a day after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared a state of emergency, though data shows crowds are not as thin as coronavirus hot spots in foreign countries like the U.S. and France.
There were 46% fewer people in Tokyo's Marunouchi business district at 8 a.m. Wednesday compared with the year-earlier Wednesday, according to consultancy GiXo, which used location histories from NTT Docomo to gather data.
