通信各社が通話制限　ワクチン予約で混雑回避

　ＮＴＴなど通信大手各社は１０日、新型コロナウイルスワクチンの接種予約を自治体が受け付ける電話番号への通話制限を実施した。通信網の容量を確保し、警察や消防といった緊急通報や他の通話に影響が出ないようにするため。つながらない場合は時間を置いてかけ直すよう呼び掛けた。１１日以降も必要に応じて制限を行う。
　ＮＴＴによると、１０日は全国で約２００の自治体が電話予約を受け付ける。通話が混雑しなくなれば、制限を順次解除する。インターネット予約を受け付けている自治体については、ネットの利用も呼び掛けた。（2021/05/10-11:31）

Major Japanese telecommunications companies, including Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. , restricted phone calls on Monday to local governments that accept reservations for vaccinations against the novel coronavirus.
   The restrictions will continue on and after Tuesday if necessary.
   The measure was designed to secure enough capacity for communications equipment and prevent adverse effects on emergency calls, including to police and fire stations. The restrictions will be removed when congestion is resolved.
   About 200 local governments are set to accept vaccination reservations on Monday, according to NTT.
   Citizens are being asked to make a call again sometime later if they have difficulty getting through and to use the internet if their local governments accept reservations online.
