TOKYO–A COVID-19 skeptic is running for Tokyo governor under the slogan “Corona is just a normal cold.”
Posters up in Shimokitazawa in the capital’s Setagaya Ward for Kokuminshuken Party candidate Masayuki Hiratsuka also feature a large “X” through current Governor Yuriko Koike’s strategy of “masks,” “social distancing” and “avoiding crowded spaces” to battle the spread of the virus.
The election is being held today, July 5.
