昼の人出、新宿駅などで表示　外出自粛の呼び掛け強化―東京都

　東京都は８日、新型コロナウイルス対策として、昨年１月と比べた昼間の人出の増減状況について、新宿駅など都内主要４駅の電子看板（デジタルサイネージ）で表示する取り組みを始めた。昼間の人出の減少率が小さいため、現状を伝え、テレワークなどによる外出自粛の呼び掛けを強化する。

The Tokyo metropolitan government has started displaying changes in pedestrian volumes during the daytime on digital screens put up at four major train stations in the Japanese capital.
   The measure began on Monday, showing percent changes in foot traffic around each of the four stations as of noon every day compared with the average figures on weekdays or weekends in January last year, before the spread of the novel coronavirus in Japan.
   The data are displayed on a total of 10 digital screens at Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya and Shinbashi stations.
   The move is intended to make people more aware of the need to reduce unnecessary outings through working from home and other measures in a bid to lower infection risks, as the metropolitan government has been alarmed to see daytime foot traffic not falling much.
   In Tokyo and nine other prefectures in Japan, the government's state of emergency over the coronavirus was extended for one month until March 7. "We need to brace ourselves up more to enable a shorter extension period," Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike told reporters.
