Sales at Japan's major restaurant chains kept falling in July, as the coronavirus discouraged people from eating out.

The Japan Food Service Association says revenue fell 15 percent from a year earlier. That was the fifth straight month of decline. But the drop was smaller than in the month before, even though it was still in double digits.

Police in central Japan plan to question a man infected with the new coronavirus who visited a restaurant after the health authorities told him to stay at home.

City officials in Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture, say the man's infection was confirmed on March 4, but he went to the restaurant later the same day. The staff notified health officials because the man, who is in his 50s, said he had the coronavirus.
