政府、イベント人数制限撤廃へ　まん延防止措置で、感染対策条件

　政府は１０日、新型コロナウイルス対策の「まん延防止等重点措置」が適用されている地域での大規模イベントについて、一定の感染対策を実施すれば人数制限を撤廃する方針を固めた。１１日に開く新型コロナ対策分科会で議論し、来週決定する。

The Japanese government plans to remove restrictions on the number of attendees for large-scale events in areas in the COVID-19 pre-emergency stage if certain infection control steps are taken, it was learned Thursday.
   The government will decide the removal of the restrictions next week after holding discussions on it at a coronavirus advisory panel meeting on Friday, informed sources said.
   It will also decide at the time on whether to allow 18 prefectures including Tokyo to exit the pre-emergency stage on March 21, as currently scheduled.
   Currently, the upper limit of participates in large-scale events in pre-emergency areas is set at 20,000 if the organizers draw up measures to prevent novel coronavirus infections, such as asking event participants not to shout.
   The upper limit can be raised if all participants test negative for the coronavirus.
