宣言解除へ「もう一段対応を」　新型コロナ感染再拡大を警戒―都専門家会議

　東京都は４日、都内の新型コロナウイルスの感染状況と医療提供体制を分析するモニタリング会議を開いた。新規感染者数の減少速度が鈍化している中、出席した専門家は、緊急事態宣言の解除に向け「現状の人の流れの抑制にとどまらず、もう一段の対応が必要だ」と指摘。感染再拡大を警戒する意見も相次いだ。
　国立国際医療研究センターの大曲貴夫医師は会議で、昨年夏の「第２波」では感染者数が十分に減少せず、その後急激に感染が拡大し「第３波」に至ったと強調。宴会を伴う花見や歓送迎会をきっかけに「感染者が再び増加に転じることが危惧される」と訴えた。（2021/03/04-19:39）

Medical experts, at a Tokyo metropolitan government meeting Thursday, called for stricter measures to reduce new coronavirus cases in the capital before the state of emergency is lifted.
   "We need to not only curb the flow of people but take further steps," an expert said at the coronavirus monitoring meeting.
   Many members of the meeting also warned of a possible resurgence in the cases.
   Norio Omagari of the National Center for Global Health and Medicine said he fears that "the number of new cases will turn up" due to cherry blossom-viewing parties as well as farewell and welcome parties in spring.
   Insufficient efforts to contain the second wave of infection last summer led to the substantial third wave of cases, he stressed.
