　東京都の小池百合子知事は６日、再選を果たした都知事選から一夜明け、早速、新型コロナウイルス対応などの公務に当たった。職員からの花束贈呈などのセレモニーはなく、小池氏は防災服姿で登庁。記者団の取材に「３６６万票という望外の支援を頂いた」と感謝の言葉を述べた。「よりしっかり働けという都民の声をエネルギーにして、コロナ対策や成長戦略をしっかり進めていきたい」と語った。
　小池氏は、新型コロナ感染者の増加を受け、都外への不要不急の移動自粛を住民に呼び掛けたことについて、「地方の医療体制はかなり厳しいところもある。皆さまのご協力で東京に関係する広がりを抑えていく」と強調。東京都に隣接する埼玉、千葉、神奈川各県との連携の重要性に触れながら、「東京の感染をまず防ぐことに集中する」と話した。（2020/07/06-11:50）

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike thanked voters Monday for their "unexpected support" in the previous day's gubernatorial election, in which she scored a landslide victory for another term of four years.
   Speaking to reporters, Koike expressed her gratitude, saying that the total 3.6 million or so votes she garnered in the poll was much greater than she had expected.
   "I'd like to turn the Tokyoites' voices encouraging me to work harder into power to fuel efforts to proceed with novel coronavirus measures and growth strategies," she added.
   When Koike arrived at the metropolitan government office building in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward on Monday morning, there was no ceremony with Tokyo government employees to mark her re-election. Instead, the governor immediately started working on new coronavirus measures and other government affairs.
   She commented on the request she made on Saturday to residents of Tokyo to refrain from making unnecessary trips to other prefectures in Japan, in response to a recent rise in the number of coronavirus cases in the Japanese capital. The governor voiced concern over ill-prepared medical systems in other parts of the country and said she hopes Tokyoites' cooperation will help contain the further spread of the coronavirus related to Tokyo.
