The findings revealed that cases were concentrated central Tokyo, with clustering levels decreasing after outbreaks. rates higher areas a greater density retail stores, restaurants, health facilities, workers those sectors, public transit use, telecommuting. However, household crowding was negatively associated. also found telecommuting rate strongest according to regression model time-fixed effects, which had best validation stability. study's results could be useful for researchers policymakers, particularly because Japan have unique circumstances, as there no mandatory lockdown during pandemic.
