Department stores have already adjusted their opening hours to help slow the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus. Now, in light of Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike’s announcement that people should stay home due to the spike in coronavirus cases, some department stores in Tokyo have decided to close this weekend, March 28 and 29. After all, it's not like you were planning on going outside on the weekend anyway, right? 

Shibuya 109, the highly-recognised department store in central Shibuya, will be closed this weekend and will also adjust its opening hours on Friday March 27 and Monday March 30, opening only from 11am to 7pm. Magnet, a nearby department store ran by Shibuya 109, will also close. 

The Ikebukuro, Yurakucho, Shinjuku and Shinjuku EST branches of Lumine will also be closed, in addition to the Newoman branch in Shinjuku, Yokohama and Machida. The following Lumine buildings will keep their food floors open but their general shopping floors closed: Omiya, Kitasenju, Tachikawa and Ogikubo. 

Takashimaya locations in Nihonbashi, Shinjuku and Yokohama will be closed this weekend. 

Parco locations in Shibuya, Ikebukuro and Ueno will be closed.
