都内感染者、月内に再増加も　人出、宣言前に近づく―新型コロナ

　東京都は１０日、専門家を交えた新型コロナウイルスのモニタリング会議を開いた。新規感染者は減少傾向にあるものの、人出は増加し続け、緊急事態宣言前の水準に戻りつつあると報告。感染力の強い変異ウイルスの拡大もあり、専門家は６月中に感染者が再び増加する可能性を示した。
　都内の７日間平均の新規感染者は３８９．４人で、１週間前より約２割減った。だが国立国際医療研究センターの大曲貴夫氏は「陽性者数が十分に下がりきらないまま、高い値で推移している」と指摘。警戒が引き続き必要との認識を示した。（2021/06/10-16:59）

New coronavirus cases in Tokyo may turn higher again later in June if foot traffic continues to increase, as highly contagious variant strains are spreading, medical experts said Thursday.
   Although the number of new cases is on a decline, foot traffic is increasing and has almost returned to levels before the current state of emergency was declared in April, the experts told a Tokyo metropolitan government meeting.
   The latest seven-day average of new cases in the Japanese capital declined some 20 pct from a week before to 389.4.
   But Norio Omagari of the National Center for Global Health and Medicine called for continued vigilance, saying that "the number of positive cases has not dropped sufficiently and is still high."
   Also at the meeting, it was reported that foot traffic in major busy districts of Tokyo had grown for four straight weeks since the end of the Golden Week holiday period in early May, standing 32 pct higher at night and 26 pct higher in the daytime than during the holiday period.
