Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said Tuesday she will ask Tokyo residents not to go out for nonessential purposes during Japan's four-day weekend from Thursday amid a resurgence of coronavirus infections.
   She made the remark after discussing measures against the novel coronavirus with economic revitalization minister Yasutoshi Nishimura.
   "The number of coronavirus patients with severe symptoms is increasing," Koike told reporters. "It's especially important for elderly people and those having preexisting conditions to refrain from going out."
   Koike said she will formally make the stay-home request after analyzing the infection situation and medical capacity at a meeting Wednesday.
   She also said the metropolitan government has secured 2,400 hospital beds for COVID-19 patients, including 100 for those with severe symptoms.
